Use the following URL to access the lectures on Tegrity: ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. Students who are unable to attend class regularly, regardless of the reason or circumstance, should withdraw from that class before poor attendance interferes with the student's ability to achieve the objectives required in the course. WITHDRAWAL A student may withdraw from a course or all courses without a grade penalty up to fourteen (14) days prior to the first day of final exams for the fall and spring terms. For the summer term, students may withdraw from classes up to seven (7) days prior to the first day of final exams for each session. The final date for official withdrawal is printed in the college calendar and published in each class schedule. A student who receives Title IV Federal Financial Aid (for example, Pell Grant) may have to repay funds if he/she withdraws prior to completing 60 percent of the semester. See the Director of Financial Aid for more specific information. EVALUATION PROCEDURES There will be 4 written tests during the semester. These tests are a combination of multiple choice and problems. See Tentative Schedule. Grading Scale A B C D Below 60 F

6 Class Average Calculation Tests 80% Lab/Homework Grade Average 20% The two lowest lab grades will be dropped. Remember that videos and labs all count as lab grades. The lowest homework grade will be dropped. Gradebook The gradebook for this class is maintained on Teacherease. To access teacherease: Click Login 3. Type in: address password Labs LAB ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED. Labs cannot be made up. You may not use your cell phone as a calculator in lab. All labs and videos will be averaged in with article summaries and videos to count as one test grade. No food or drinks in the laboratory. Videos Throughout the semester as time permits, videos will be shown on material being covered in class. These video viewings may or may not be announced in advance. Students will be required to complete a worksheet on each video which will count as a lab grade. Homework Homework is assigned for general practice. The homework problems that are part of Mastering Physics will be graded. However, all homework is equally important. Graded homework will not be accepted late for any reason. Be aware of the due dates in Mastering Physics. You are not required to use Mastering Physics but may hand in your homework on paper. The lowest homework grade will be dropped. MAKE-UP POLICY/LATE WORK Tests Students that are absent on the day a test is given must make arrangements with the instructor to make the test up. The test must be taken before the next scheduled test. If the make up test is not taken prior to the next scheduled test, the student will receive a 0 for the missed test. Exceptions will be made only in extremely extenuating circumstances. It is the student s responsibility to initiate these arrangements. Regardless of the testing procedures used in class, all make up tests will be a traditional pencil and paper tests taken individually by the student making up the test. Students are responsible for any material missed during his/her absence. Therefore, each student present on test day will be required to take any scheduled test for that day regardless of prior absences. to class. Labs CANNOT be made up!!! The two lowest lab grades will be dropped.

7 ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY Students are expected to follow the Rules and Standards Governing Students as described in the current college catalog. Cheating and plagiarism violate these standards and may result in disciplinary action, including expulsion. POLICY ON REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Lurleen B. Wallace Community College complies with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act of If you have a disability that might require special materials, services, or assistance, or if you have any questions relating to accessibility, please contact the ADA Coordinator on the respective campuses in advance. For TDD users in Alabama, the Alabama Relay Center is available by calling All materials related to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act are maintained by the college coordinators. Andalusia Campus Greenville Campus MacArthur Campus Bridges Anderson Dr. Jean Thomson Jason Cain ext ext ext SAFETY Lab safety issues will be discussed with students during the first lab meeting. INCOMPLETE (I) GRADE A grade of Incomplete (I) may be assigned when the quality of work has been passing but the student has been prevented by illness or other justifiable cause from completing the required work or taking the final examinations. A student who must miss a final examination has the responsibility of notifying the instructor prior to the examination or as soon thereafter as possible and of furnishing acceptable evidence concerning the cause of the absence upon return. If the cause is personal illness, the student should present the instructor a statement signed by the appropriate health care professional. A grade of Incomplete (I) must be cleared by the last class day of the following term or the grade automatically becomes an F. It is the student s responsibility to contact the instructor and to make up missed course assignments and/or examinations. OTHER Each student will be allowed to retake one test during the semester to improve the test grade. The highest grade of the two will be kept. The last day to retake a test will be announced at a later date. The last test cannot be retaken. Laptops Students cannot use laptops in class unless the ADA Coordinator indicates that one is needed.

8 Cell Phone/Link/Pager/Blackberry/etc Use POLICY Cell phones/links/pagers are NOT PERMITTED to be used in the classroom or lab. Please turn off all cell phones/links/pagers when in the classroom and in lab. Students may leave their cell phone on vibrate and take calls only in emergency situations and only when given prior permission by the instructor. Cell phones cannot be used as a calculator. 1. If a cell phone/link/pager/blackberry/etc rings/vibrates during class, the student has one of two options listed below. a. Option 1: The student must bring the cell phone to a desk at the front of the room designated by the instructor and leave it on the desk until the end of class. At the end of class, the student may pick up his/her cell phone. b. Option 2: The student must leave the class room with the cell phone and will not be allowed to return until the next day. The student will not be allowed to make up any missed work. 2. If a student is caught with a cell phone/link/pager/blackberry/etc in his/her hand during class, the student has one of two options listed below. a. Option 1: The student must bring the cell phone to a desk at the front of the room designated by the instructor and leave it on the desk until the end of class. At the end of class, the student may pick up his/her cell phone. b. Option 2: The student must leave the class room with the cell phone and will not be allowed to return until the next day. The student will not be allowed to make up any missed work. 3. If a student is behaving in such a way as to make the instructor even think he/she is using a cell phone/link/pager/blackberry/etc, then, even if the student is not using such a device, the student will have two options as listed below. a. Option 1: The student must bring the cell phone to a desk at the front of the room designated by the instructor and leave it on the desk until the end of class. At the end of class, the student may pick up his/her cell phone. b. Option 2: The student must leave the class room with the cell phone and will not be allowed to return until the next day.
