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.
3. 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”.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Students should complete all weekly assignments within 2 weeks of due date.
2. Students will be required to give oral and written presentations on selected topics.
3. Review the chapter associated with each lesson to help you understand the concepts.
4. Assignments will not be accepted any later than the due date without extenuating
circumstances.
TESTS AND EXAMS:
1. Students will take minimum of 7 exams.
2. Students must attend class at the scheduled times for these exams. If a student is not
present, a score of “I” will be earned for that exam.
3. Make-Up tests will only be administered for documented absences.
4. If a student misses a test and has documentation for the absence, arrangements to take
the make-up test must be made as soon as possible. Makeup tests must be taken of
returning to school.
5. NCCER does not accept grades below 70% on any module test. The final exam time will
be used to retake exams with scores less than 70%. All module scores below 70% will be
counted as 0.
