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-160g.htm. You will always know your grades and be able
to track your progress.
Do not miss
an exam day. Without proper documentation, missed quizzes and tests count zero
toward the final grade.

Assignments:
All assignments and projects are due on test days. A 10% penalty per day is assessed for late
cases. Data file errors and problems
with bad diskettes and bad data files are not a valid excuse for tardy work.
Students will be expected to maintain backups of their data files.
Work Ethics:
Work-ethics
grades are given at the 5th and 10th week of the
term. I will evaluate your performance
based on attendance, productivity skills, teamwork, character, leadership
skills, organization skills, communication skills, respect, self-esteem and
appearance. Work ethics grades become a permanent part of your academic record.
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.

to the employee or employer.” For
