Statement to Connect Course with General Education Outcomes or Technical Program Outcome
Statement:
In compliance with MACC’s General Education outcomes, the student who successfully completes
this course will be able to:
 Demonstrate effective written and oral communication skills.
 Demonstrate an understanding of scientific principles and computations skills and how to use
them to solve problems and make informed decisions.
 Demonstrate knowledge of basic principles of life and physical sciences.
Instructor Policies:
Attendance: Any student who misses two consecutive weeks of class during a regular sixteen-week
semester or the equivalent proportion of class time during a shorter session will be dropped from the
class by the instructor unless acceptable justification is supplied. Additionally, any student who misses
more than one-fourth of the entire number of in-seat class meetings in a regular 16-week semester or
the equivalent proportion of class time during a shorter session, may be dropped from that class by the
instructor if, in the opinion of the instructor, the student does not have reasonable opportunity to
succeed in the class.
Student attendance must be defined in a different manner for online, hybrid, and virtual courses.
Student attendance in these courses is defined as active participation in the course. Online, hybrid, and
virtual courses will, at a minimum, have weekly mechanisms for student participation, such as any or
all of the following methods:
a. Completion of quizzes or exams
b. Submission of assignments
c. Participation in threaded discussions
d. Communication with the instructor
A student who does not participate in an online, hybrid, or virtual course for two consecutive weeks
will be dropped by the instructor unless acceptable justification is supplied. (Policy Handbook, I.090)
Tardiness: Per instructor’s policy
Make-up and late work: Per instructor’s policy
Extra credit: Per instructor’s policy
Schedule of Student Assignments/Activities: Per instructor’s policy
