Test make-up policy:
Make-up dates
for missed exams and quizzes will be assigned by the instructor. Without proper documentation, missed quizzes
and tests count zero toward the final grade.
Grade posting:
I
believe that I have the responsibility to return your test scores and projects
as quickly as possible. Each student
will be given a random number at the beginning of the term. It is the student’s responsibility as well as
mine to protect the privacy of your random number. Grades will be posted on my web site at http://www.augustatech.edu/cis-t/cis-105g.htm. You will always know your grades and be able
to track your progress.
Work-ethics:
I will be
constantly evaluating your performance based on attendance, productivity skills,
teamwork, character, leadership skills, organization skills, communication
skills, respect, self-esteem and appearance. At the 5th and 10th
week of the term I will discuss my observations with you and why I evaluated
you as I have. Remember, work ethics
grades become a permanent part of your academic record.
Homework:
All homework
assignments and projects are due when requested. A 10% penalty per day is assessed for late
homework.

Attendance
Policy:
It is essential that education programs meet requirements
and standards necessary for successful employment. In view of the intensive nature of the
education programs, it is necessary for every student to be present and on time
for all classes as it is required in the “World of Work.” Absence from more than 10 percent of the
scheduled class sessions is excessive.
Actions taken in response to excessive absences and tardies are at the
discretion of each instructor and may include an adverse impact on academic
grades, work ethics, and referral to the appropriate Dean for further action,
including suspension and expulsion. A
student who has been suspended for attendance reasons has the right to appeal
in writing and will remain in school during the appeal process. When the appeal process is completed, the
final decision is made retroactive to the date of the original notice of
suspension. Suspension from a course can
influence a student’s financial aid status.
