Grading: Students are graded primarily on the degree to which they meet learning outcomes, not how much time and effort is put forth in the course. The grading for this class is outcomes-based. Students meeting standards for course outcomes will receive a grade of B. Students exceeding standards for course outcomes will receive a grade of A. Students not meeting standards for course outcomes will not receive a passing grade.

Class Regulations: Students are expected to behave politely at all times including extending the courtesy of arriving on time.

Attendance Expectations and Policy: Students are expected to attend all class sessions. In the event that an unavoidable absence occurs students are expected to make-up all work missed.

Homework Expectations: For every credit hour earned for the course, the student will spend at least two hours outside of class working on coursework.

Reasonable Disability Accommodations: Central Arizona College seeks to provide reasonable accommodations for all qualified individuals with disabilities. This college will comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable accommodations as required to provide equal educational opportunity. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor in a timely manner to arrange appropriate accommodations. If you have a disability, including a specific learning disability, please notify the instructor to discuss possible accommodation needs, if so desired. Or contact the Special Needs Coordinator at 520-426-4409. All accommodations must be arranged through the Special Needs Office. All information will be kept confidential.

Course Calendar/Schedule of Activities: All assignments will be evaluated based on course outcomes. They will be evaluated holistically as evidence of mastery of specific course outcomes. If any assignment does not demonstrate mastery it will be returned and the student will be given time to bring it up to standards without penalty. Students are strongly encouraged to turn in work early enough that it can be evaluated by the instructor, returned to the student, corrected by the student if necessary, resubmitted to the instructor, and re-evaluated by the instructor before the end of the semester. Assignments submitted in the last days of class are unlikely to be graded in time to be reflected on the grade report.

Note to Students: The instructor reserves the right to change the delivery of course content based on the needs of the class.
