INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTOR HANDOUT – THE 1020
Fall 2006
Course Information
The course is intended to serve the theatre major or minor, the theatre hobbyist or as an elective.
The student in this class need not have any prior theatre experience.
While this course is not a performing course, but rather an academic one, it is also intended to be experimental, giving the student learning beyond the classroom.
Additional Grading Information:
1.
Grades will be based on the accumulation of points, with each assignment, test or quiz.
2.
Each graded activity is worth the assigned point value. While test or attendance and evaluation of an event, for example, might be weighted as 100 or more points.
3.
There will be 5 semester exams and a final exam.

ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS POLICY
Regular attendance is expected of all students. Each student is accountable to the instructor for all class absences. There are three acceptable excuses for absences: (1) severe illness, (2) death in the immediate family, and (3) official college activity (approved by Student
Services). Any questionable excuse shall be verified by the office of Student Services when requested by the instructor.
When any absence occurs, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor as soon as possible and make arrangements about making up work. Work must be made up within one week following the absence or within the time specified by the instructor in case of extended absence. A ten-point penalty is assessed for late work. Except as noted above, make-up work will not be permitted after the one-week deadline, and the instructor will record a grade of “0” for each assignment not submitted.
Tardiness to class is disruptive to learning and is unacceptable. If the student is tardy, the student shall see his/her instructor at the end of the class period, and the instructor will determine if the tardiness is excusable. Excessive tardiness may be counted as absences at the discretion of the instructor.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
A student may withdraw from a course prior to the deadline for withdrawing which is listed in the college catalog and the college class schedule. A student who has missed too many classes or who is making unsatisfactory progress in the course can withdraw and receive a “W” mark for the course. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the necessary request form from the Registrar’s Office for withdrawing from a class, to obtain signatures for completing it, and to turn it in to the Registrar’s Office before the deadline. It is advisable to check later to ensure that the withdrawal has been processed.
NOTE: In 1997, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1545 which requires that students who have enrolled more than two times in the same college credit course must pay tuition fees at 100% of the full cost of instruction. The full cost of instruction is the same as the non-resident tuition fee. All Florida community colleges and state universities are required to begin “counting” attempts beginning in the Fall term 1997. An “attempt” is any course which remains on the student’s class schedule past the published drop/add date for any academic term.
When a student withdraws from a course, the withdrawal counts as an attempt. A student is allowed to repeat a course a maximum of three (3) times. On the third attempt, a student cannot withdraw; he must receive a grade.
No additional attempts will be allowed without prior approval from the Admissions Committee; approvals may be granted for extenuating circumstances only.
I have read and fully understand the attendance, tardiness and withdrawal policies of
Chipola College.
