Classroom expectations for students
Attendance Policy

Students must log into their online course prior to the third day of the course as dictated
by the drop policy of the college. Failure to log in by end of day three will result in the
student being dropped from the course. Attendance in online courses is defined as active
participation in the course. Active participation is defined as completion of all
expectations outlined in the online courses as contained in lesson plan, syllabi, and other
course related documents within the course. These expectations may include but are not
limited to participation in discussion forums, submission of completed assignments, and
completion of quizzes and exams.
Termination may occur for any of the following attendance situations:
1. Eight (8) consecutive absences per semester.
2. Absence in excess of 20 percent (20%) of available course hours.
3. Absence in excess of 20 percent (20%) of externship hours.
Veteran's Attendance Policy
Excused absences will be granted for extenuating circumstances only.
Excused absences must be substantiated by entries in students' files. Early
departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of a class period will be counted
as absence. Students exceeding 5 unexcused absences in a semester for degree
granting programs will be terminated from their VA benefits for unsatisfactory
attendance. The student's attendance record will be retained in the veteran's file for
USDVA and SAA audit purposes.
NOTE: Plagiarism is defined as the use, without proper acknowledgment, of the ideas, phrases,
sentences, or larger units of discourse from another writer or speaker. Plagiarism includes the
unauthorized copying of software and the violation of copyright laws. Students who commit
plagiarism will obtain a grade of “Failure” on their exam or assignment.
Course Description
This course is designed to cover a broad range of physics topics. As these topics are applied to
various problem situations, the student will develop critical thinking skills and through the use of
group activities which the student will enhance cooperative attitudes. Topics include computer
technologies, math calculations, mechanics, measurement, heat, fluid, and gas laws, as well as,
atomic and nuclear physics, electromagnetic, light and sound.

Generally, the grades “A” through “C-” are considered passing grades. Grades "W" and "I" indicate that
no grades were earned for the course. A "W" grade indicates that the student withdrew from the course. An
"I" grade indicates that the student was passing the course, but failed to complete all the required course
work. The instructor, in his/her discretion may grant an "I" grade instead of an "F", pending completion of
the course work by the student within a specified time arranged by the instructor and told to the student. It
is the student's responsibility to follow-up with the instructor to complete the course work. If the course
work is not completed by the arranged time, the “I” grade becomes an “F".
