TEACHING METHODS: Various teaching methods include lecture, participative learning,
problem-solving, individual and group activities, evaluations, etc.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES:
A. Testing: Tests shall consist of a drawing project and a theory test. Quizzes may be given at any time.
B. Lab/Homework: Assignments will be given as drawing projects as class proceeds and will be due at the
beginning of the next scheduled class unless otherwise instructed.
C. Point Grading System: Each assignment (drawing, test, or oral class participation) earns a specified
number of points. The total points earned by the end of the semester will reflect the letter grade by a
percentage of the total points possible.
ATTENDANCE: Class attendance records will be maintained within the first ten minutes of each class. It
is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor in cases of late arrival or planned future
absentness. Any student who has financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Administration for the
new attendance stipulations.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP WORK:
A. Assignments are listed on the Tentative Class Schedule.
B. Completed homework is due the day of and prior to the start of the test for specific chapters covered.
This is the only time homework will be accepted. Late homework will not be accepted.
C. There will be no make-up for labs, quizzes or homework missed. If allowed, any make up test will be
scheduled at the discretion of the Instructor using the NEC Testing Center.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL: Full refund: August 31, 2012. Final Withdrawal: November 9, 2012. Any
student may withdraw from a class within the first two weeks for a full refund. The deadline to withdraw
from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the
deadline that applies to the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member
assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a
course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course
after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future semesters. Students
may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who
stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have
financial aid consequences for the student. Also, if a student is absent during the first two weeks of class
without notifying the instructor, the instructor is required to issue an Administrative Withdrawal (“WN”).
