STUDENT REQUIREMENTS AND METHOD
OF EVALUATION
1. Attendance and class participation are
essential to successfully complete the course.
2. It will be expected that the student will
read the related material in the textbook as topics are covered.
3. Questions, exercises and projects will be
assigned to be done by the student.
4. Pop quizzes may be given periodically.
6. Examinations over the course material
will be administered.
7. The course grade will be determined by
averaging grades on questions, exercises, projects, and exam scores.
GRADING SCALE
The
grading scale will be as follows:
90%-100%
=A
80%-89% =B
70%-79% =C
60%-69% =D
Less
than 60% =F
Attendance Policy
Absences that occur due to students participating in official college
activities are excused except in those cases where outside bodies, such as the
State Board of Nursing, have requirements for minimum class minutes for each
student. Students who are excused will be given reasonable opportunity to make
up any missed work or receive substitute assignments from the instructor and
should not be penalized for the absence.
Proper procedure should be followed in notifying faculty in advance of
the student’s planned participation in the event. Ultimately it is the student’s responsibility
to notify the instructor in advance of the planned absence.
Unless students are participating in a school activity or are excused
by the instructor, they are expected to attend class. If a student’s absences exceed one-hundred
(100) minutes per credit hour for the course or, in the case of
on-line or other non-traditional courses, the student is inactive for
one-eighth of the total course duration, the instructor has the right, but is
not required, to withdraw a student from the course. Once the student has been dropped for
excessive absences, the registrar’s office will send a letter to the student,
stating that he or she has been dropped.
A student may petition the chief academic officer for reinstatement by
submitting a letter stating valid reasons for the absences within one week of
the registrar’s notification. If the
student is reinstated into the class, the instructor and the registrar will be
notified.
Academic Integrity
NCCC expects every student to
demonstrate ethical behavior with regard to academic pursuits. Academic integrity in coursework is a
specific requirement. Definitions,
examples, and possible consequences for violations of Academic Integrity, as
well as the appeals process, can be found in the College Catalog, Student
Handbook, and/or Code of Student Conduct and Discipline.
Student cell phones and pagers
must be turned off during class times. Faculty may approve an exception for
special circumstances.
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT GAIN
Pre‑assessment ideally begins during the
advisement and enrollment process with the advisor and/or instructor
interviewing the student to determine the proper level of placement. During the first two weeks of a normal
semester, students are observed and/or interviewed and assignments are examined
to determine needed competency development.
Post‑assessment to determine gain in
competency will be measured at the end of each unit of study.
VOCATIONAL/CAREER COURSE
DOCUMENTATION
This course is one course from
the approved program in Vocational Business/Office Education. It is taken by students preparing for
accounting or bookkeeping positions, students in transfer programs, small
business owners, and other business students.
ADVISORY COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT
The Business/Office Education
program maintains an Advisory Board for this vocational component. The coordinator communicates with the Board
on a regular basis concerning issues or problems that occur and meets with the
group one or two times each year.
