Labs:
Lab notebooks collected 4 times at 50 pts each time.200 pts.
Lab Practical Exams, 2 at 50 points apiece .. ..100 pt s.
Total 1000 pts.
Letter Grades: A = 900 1000 pts. B = 800 899 pts. C = 700 799 pts. D = 600
699 pts. F 698 pts. Labs: Labs will be graded based on the quality and completeness of the lab
notebook and participation in group problem solving sessions.
Quizzes: The quizzes will cover the material covered in both the lecture and lab
portion of the class.
Exams: There will be three exams worth 100 points throughout the semester.
The fourth exam will be a comprehensive final exam.
Absences: There are no make-ups allowed for labs or quizzes. Exams can be made
up with instructor permission only. If the student misses an exam the
excuse must be accompanied by documentation. (ie, Doctors excuse)No extra credit work is allowed.
Student Resources (as applicable)
Library services: Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the Verde
Valley Campus libraries. Both libraries are members of a countywide
library network, which provides access to a wide-range of information
and resources at libraries throughout Yavapai County. Possession of a
College library card entitles students to access materials housed at
member libraries. Instructors may place required course materials on
reserve in the library or make assignments that require the use of library
resources.
Learning Centers: A Learning Centeris available on the Prescott and Verde Valley
Campuses. These centers provide a variety of learning support for
students including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for
students with disabilities, and a networked general computer lab.
Tutoring: Call for details: Prescott 776-2085 or Verde Valley 634-6562

Instructor Procedures and Institution Policies
Attendance: Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings,
laboratories, and field trips. A student who expects to be absent due to
another school-sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must
make prior arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be
made up as directed by the instructor. A student who does not adhere to
instructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped from
the course as defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog.
Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period closes, students may withdraw until the
deadline for student-initiated withdrawals. Withdrawals result in a "W"
on the permanent transcript.
For semester-length classes 14 weeks in length or longer, the withdrawal
deadline is November 1 in the Fall semester, April 1 in the Spring
semester.
For classes of 4 days to 14 weeks in length, withdrawals are permitted
until the class is 50 percent completed.
For classes of 1-3 days in length, withdrawals are permitted until the
class is 50 percent completed.
A "Y" is noted on the permanent transcript for an administrative
withdrawal. More information can be obtained from the Admissions &
Registration Office.
Academic integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning
environment. The presentation of another individuals work as ones
own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating,
plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the CollegesStudent Code of Conduct. Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and
violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the

appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,discuss opinions, present on a selected subject, or post to a web board.Inappropriate language or objectionable material will not be toleratedand could result in a failing grade for the class. Students and facultyeach have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learningenvironment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standardsmay be subject to discipline. Faculty havethe professional responsibility
to treat all students with understanding, dignity and respect, to guideclassroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the manner inwhich they and their students express opinions. Professional courtesyand sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals andtopics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexualorientation, gender variance and nationalities.
