ATTENDANCE:
90 % of success is showing up!
The first step in being a successful student is showing up for class, physically and mentally. This
course is designed to enrich and prepare students for the oil and gas production industry through
assigned reading, research, and classroom discussion. Daily assignments are part of the student’s
grade. Students should notify the instructor whenever they are aware of upcoming absences.
Students working 7/7, 14/14 shifts should notify instructor the first class session to set up
provisions.
1. Students are expected to attend all classes. When a student is absent from class, the student
is responsible to get notes from classmates and make arrangements with instructor for
missed assignments.
2. Tardies are disrespectful to other class members as well as disruptive to the class. Students
are considered tardy when they arrive more than 5 minutes after assigned class start
time. Three tardies will be counted as one absence.
Students may be dropped from class for excessive absences (more than 6 unexcused class sessions)
with an “F” for the course. Students with excessive absences may be encouraged to withdraw with a
“W” before receiving the “F”.
MAKE-UP POLICY:

2. Students are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of the material by active
participation both verbally and written exercises as this course is designed for
interaction using BFDs, PFDs, P&IDs and schematics of training skid. The instructor will
consider no participation in class or lab as a failure.

circumstances.
TESTS AND EXAMS:
1. Students will take a Mid Term and Final exam in addition to Hands On Exercises and
