Faculty Syllabus

Course Requirements

1. Read and review assigned handouts and course materials.

2. Complete assigned work.

3. Students are encouraged to get the help they need in a timely fashion. If you need help please

ask. Help outside office hours is available if you need it. However, not keeping up is not a

good excuse. If for some reason, your messages are not returned it is up to you to follow up

and get help. If your message is not returned, it is virtually certain that a technical issue is

keeping me from getting your message. Make sure to include your name, section number

and the name of the class in all communications (e.g. Julie Smith APMT 3320 – 95786).

Keep trying if you do not hear from me.

4. Collaboration with your fellow students is highly encouraged to understand concepts from a

different voice. Your instructor may facilitate this if requested.

ASSIGNMENTS – Two assignments will be given to apply the subject material presented with up to 10 points possible on each one.

EXAMS - There are five required exams for this course.

Attendance/Participation

Attendance is very crucial and may make the difference between passing and not passing this class. Students are expected to show up to every class and be on time. More than three unexcused absences from the class may result in you being dropped from the class.

There are a number of in-class exercises and labs where working in groups is key to the successful outcome. In these settings team work, cooperation, and patience is essential for success.

Electronic Devices

Students must turn off or mute all cell phones during lab and class time. No Tablets, IPods or other MP3 type devices are allowed in class. No text messaging is allowed in class.

Food and Drinks

Food and beverage items are not allowed in the classroom nor the laboratories.

Incompletes

A student may receive a temporary grade of “I” (incomplete) at the end of the semester only if the following conditions are satisfied:

The student is unable to complete the course during the semester due to circumstance beyond their control. The student must have earned at least half of the grade points needed to earn a “C” by the end of the semester.

Arrangement for an incomplete must be made with the instructor.

A “Report of Incomplete Grade” form must be completed by the instructor and filed with the department.

To convert the incomplete “I” into a grade, the student must submit for grading all work required to complete the course to the instructor by a date specified by the instructor within the next immediately following semester, but absolutely no later than 2 weeks prior to drop date of the that semester. Incompletes not completed by the date specified automatically become a letter grade of “F” for the course.
