Attention HGTC Students:
The faculty and administration of HGTC are committed to enhancing your learning experience at the College through improved methods of instruction and support services. For information on Student Support Services or questions about your curriculum program please refer to your WaveNet homepage.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
All forms of academic dishonesty, as outlined in the Student Code in the HGTC catalog, will NOT be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action. Anyone caught cheating or committing plagiarism (Defined in the code as: “The appropriation of any other person’s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one’s own work offered for credit”) will be given a grade of a zero for that assignment. A second offense will result in charges being filed with the Chief Student Services Officer.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:
REGULAR ATTENDANCE IN ALL LECTURES AND LABORATORIES IS A STUDENTS OBLIGATION AND IS MANDATORY.
ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. If a student is not present when attendance is taken, they will be counted absent even if they show up late.
A student will be withdrawn from the class if absences (total hours) exceed 20% of the total contact hours. In the event of a serious illness that exceeds the 20% allowable absences, a physician’s excuse must be presented which states the diagnosis and the length of time the student must be away from the class. There are no excused and unexcused absences. Any time out is an absence no matter the excuse. It is the student’s responsibility to keep up with the number of any hours she/he has missed.
Dental, doctor and other personal appointments MUST be scheduled outside class hours.
For any absences or tardiness, the student is responsible for the material covered and submitting any homework or other material that was done prior to their arrival. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the handouts (if applicable) that were distributed during the class time that was missed. The instructor will have copies the following scheduled course day only!
Homework will be due at the beginning of the class for which it is due. It is the student’s responsibility to place the homework on the instructor podium before class begins. Homework will be considered late if turned in after it has been collected by the instructor and will have grading deducted from a 92% level scale. For Case Study and Critical Thinking questions, answers must be in the student’s own words. Copying your answers from the textbook or a classmate’s homework is plagiarism and may result in being dismissed from the program. If the student is absent the day the homework was due, the homework assignment MUST be turned in the day the student returns to school and graded from the 92% scale.
MAKE-UP TEST POLICY:
Make-up tests will be given at the discretion of the instructor and only if the student is absent on the day of the test. A doctor’s excuse or other verifiable excuse will need to be presented for verification. The grading will begin at the 92% grade and wrong answers will be deducted from that point. The student is to take the test the first day they return to school and MUST be prepared to take the test that day. NO EXCUSES. If the student fails to take the test then, another time will not be available and a zero will be given for the grade on that test. It is the student’s responsibility to approach the instructor to take any missed tests.
If the student wishes to take their written test at the testing center, an appointment must be made with the testing center. Appointments MUST be made 24 hours in advance. The testing center will not accept same day appointments. It is the student’s responsibility to make the appointment and inform the instructor of the appointment time. However, the test must still be taken on the first day the student returns to school. NO EXCUSES. This means the student must contact the Testing Center the day before they return to school so they can take the test within the required time frame as previously stated.
EVALUATION OF REQUIRED MEASURES/ARTIFACTS

REMEDIATION/ENRICHMENT
In order to keep the student on track for success in this course, I will be tracking assignments and test grades. If any assignments/grades fall below a 77 (“C”), the student will be referred to the course instructor or the SSTC (Student Success and Technology Center) for guidance and assistance. There is a tutor available at the SSTC for help with course content. Faculty members are available for assistance throughout the semester. At times, the student will be asked to spend additional hours outside of class time to work on clinical skills, course content comprehension, etc. as a means for personal improvement. It is recommended that the student seek help early in the semester so there will be enough time to improve the grade.
