TEST POLICY:
Major tests will be scheduled approximately one week in advance. Students should not be absent from announced tests. The syllabus for each instructor’s course includes policies for makeup of missed announced tests.
APPROXIMATE TEST SCHEDULE AND WHAT TEST COVERS:
This course includes periodic lecture and lab tests (see the most recent detailed course schedule) and a comprehensive final exam that is based on lecture material. There is no comprehensive lab exam.
SCANTRONS:
It is the responsibility of the student to purchase scantrons at the Greenville Technical College bookstore.
MAKE-UP TESTS:
Students are expected to take all lecture and lab exams and the final exam on the scheduled day during the assigned class time.
Missing a scheduled exam is highly discouraged and should be done only in extreme situations. A make-up exam may be given only if the student notifies the instructor prior to the exam or within 24 hours of the absence with a valid reason for the absence. All excused absences must be documented and the documentation must be shown immediately to the instructor when the student returns to class. If an unavoidable excused absence occurs, the student may be eligible to take a make-up exam. Make-up exams may be in any format, e.g., oral, discussion, short answer. A student may make up no more than one lecture and one lab exam. All other missed exams will be recorded as zero (“0”). If a lecture exam is missed, and the absence is excused, the exam must be made up within 1 week after the student’s return to class. If a lab exam is missed, and the absence is excused, the exam must be made up on the study day prior to final exams.
GRADE CALCULATIONS:
The final course grade will be calculated as follows:
· 5%: average of all homework and quizzes (as assigned by the instructor)
· 5%: average of writing assignment(s)
· 40%: average of all lecture exams
· 40%: average of all lab exams
· 10%: cumulative lecture final exam
Homework will be completed through Mastering A&P. Mastering A and P can be accessed using the code that is available with new textbooks. Used textbook users will need to purchase the code from Pearson Publishing. This may be done online at http://www.masteringaandp.com/site/index.html.
All lecture and lab exams must be taken. No exam scores will be dropped.
There will be no exemptions for the final exam, which is a comprehensive exam covering all lecture material. The final exam score may be used to replace the lowest lecture exam score. The final exam score cannot be used to replace a “0” or a lab exam score. Any bonus credit awarded in this course cannot exceed 2% of the total points for the class. Any “extra” points awarded by this test replacement cannot exceed the maximum 2% bonus credit.
GRADING POLICY:
Each instructor will inform the students in writing at the first meeting of class how the final grade for that particular course will be determined. The grading scale for the Biological Sciences Department is the following:
A = 90 - 100%
B = 80 - 89%
C = 70 - 79%
D = 60 - 69%
F = 59% or below
Please refer to divisional policies.
INCOMPLETE GRADES:
If, after the withdrawal date but before final grades are turned in, a student, with a passing grade, has personal or family circumstances which prevent the student from completing the assignments in class then, upon approval of your instructor, a grade of “I” may be given. It is the student’s responsibility to contact and discuss the circumstances causing the need for the “I” grade with the instructor prior to the end of the final exam period. A grade of “I” will not be given unless the student requests and receives approval for the “I” grade from the instructor. The unfinished assignments and tests causing the “I” must be completed in a satisfactory manner before a date in the next term designated by the instructor. Grades for any tests not taken before the designated date will be assigned a grade of zero, the final course grade averaged, and the resultant letter grade turned in to student records.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
It is the belief of the Biological Sciences faculty that regular attendance in class is necessary for student success. When a student is absent, it is the student's responsibility to obtain all notes, handouts, announcements, (including test dates), etc.
If a student is absent more than 10% of the contact hours (9 hours) prior to the last withdrawal day for the semester and is not passing the course, the student may be administratively withdrawn by the instructor. A student should consult his or her instructor regarding that instructor's use of the administrative withdrawal policy. If a student desires to appeal an instructor's decision on administrative withdrawal, a petition must be submitted to the head of the Biological Sciences Department prior to the last withdrawal date.
WITHDRAWAL:
A student may choose to withdraw from a course up until the designated last withdrawal date for each semester. Students anticipating transfer to other academic institutions should be informed that some institutions restrict acceptance of transfer students with excessive withdrawals (this is typically three withdrawals).
PURGE and ADD/DROP:
Registered students who are not protected from the purge must complete a Do Not Purge form prior to the purge deadline. Dropping all unwanted classes will prevent a financial penalty. Students should not assume that they will be purged from the system; it is the student's responsibility to initiate the proper paperwork to drop or withdraw from courses. Failure to attend classes does not constitute proper procedure for dropping or withdrawing from courses. The add/drop and withdrawal dates will be strictly enforced and no exceptions will be made to this policy. For additional information on the college add/drop policy and procedures, please consult the Greenville Technical College Catalog, College Website at www.gvltec.edu or the Student Handbook.
AUDITING POLICY:
A student may register to audit a class at registration or during the drop/add period. It is understood that the student will attend class and testing may be required if audit is used for course validation. Please refer to divisional policies.
ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Academic dishonesty includes giving, receiving, or using unauthorized aid on any academic work. It includes using notes, looking on papers of other students and copying the work of other persons. The procedures for handling all matters of academic dishonesty, especially cheating, are described in the Student Handbook. You are expected to read and understand the procedures and penalties. Please refer to divisional policies.
CARE OF DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT:
Proper care of equipment is essential in the Biological Sciences Department. The equipment used may be expensive or difficult to replace. Those who fail to take care of equipment may be subject to disciplinary action and/or be barred from participation in laboratory.
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:
All students who have a disability and need accommodations should visit, call, or e-mail Student Disability Services at the beginning of each semester. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain their accommodation forms within the first 2 weeks of class to ensure appropriate services. The office is located at the Barton Campus in the Student Center (Building 105), Room 113, and can be reached by phone at 250-8202 or 250-8408 or by email at . The Disability Service Counselor is available to meet with students on satellite campuses by appointment. Refer to the division policies for additional information.
COUNSELING:
Students should contact their division or satellite campus counselor for counseling concerns.
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR:
Eating, drinking, and the use of tobacco products are prohibited in classrooms and laboratories. The use of headphones, cellular phones and beepers is prohibited in classrooms (machines to be inactive) unless approved by the instructor. If you must talk while the instructor is teaching, please leave the room. You may quietly return within a few minutes. If talking or behavior is considered disruptive by the instructor, you may be asked to leave the classroom and may be marked absent for the day. Please refer to divisional policies.
CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM:
Students of the college may not bring children to class or leave children unattended on campus. The college assumes no responsibility for supervision of students' children.
ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE:
Student concerns will be addressed in a serious and professional manner. Inquiries and grievances of students concerning academic policies, classroom procedures and/or teaching/learning issues in a Biological Sciences Department course should be discussed and resolved with the instructor.
If, for any reason, you do not want to share your concerns with the instructor or are dissatisfied with his/her response please contact:
