ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance will be taken daily. When a student has accumulated unexcused
absences in excess of four class periods, the instructor MAY file a withdrawal form for that student.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY: According to college policy, a student may withdraw from the course during the 1st
7 weeks by submitting a withdrawal form to the Admissions Office. If a student wishes to have the instructor
withdraw him or her from the course AFTER the 7th week, it is the responsibility of the STUDENT to contact the
instructor about the possibility of a withdrawal.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
Arizona State ARS15-151 specifies that every student, teacher, and visitor in community colleges must wear
appropriate protective eyewear while participating in or when observing vocational, technical, industrial arts
activities involving exposure to: molten metal, cutting shaping, and grinding of materials; heat treatment;
tempering or kiln firing of any metals or other materials; welding fabrication processes; explosive materials,
caustic solutions and radioactive materials.
Cheating or plagiarism will result in a zero grade for the item.
Audio taping of classes is allowed.
Smoking, eating, & drinking in class is not allowed. Water in a sealed bottle is allowed.
Turn off all cell phones.
Special needs students need to contact me and/or Disability Services 623.845.3080.
Misbehavior or failure to follow instructions is cause for instructor withdrawal.
PERSONS NOT ENROLLED IN CLASS ATTENDING CLASS
No one not enrolled in class is allowed in class. .
Grading:
1000 pts total
415 pts Daily quiz (last 20 min of class) 3x5 note card allowed
200 pts 2 (100 pt each) Take Home tests
100 pts Viewing Mechanical Universe Tapes (5 pts/tape) (1 paragraph per tape)(HAND WRITTEN)
85 pts Homework (5 pts/chapter) - due on Monday of next week except the last week.
Late homework will receive 1 pt
50 pts Presentation/Project
150 pts 10 labs (15 pts) (Lab grades will be scaled)
(50% loss of points for labs more than 1 week late) To receive a course grade of "C" or higher, a student must
submit passing lab reports for at least 7 of the scheduled labs. Grades will be reduced on late lab reports.
Any student failing the laboratory portion of the course cannot receive a grade higher than a D for the
course.
A 90% B 80-89% C 70-79% D 60-69% F < 60%
