Textbook and Other RequirementsTextbook information is provided in the course syllabus, at the campus bookstore, on the campus bookstore website (www.polk.bncollege.com), or via the “Shop Textbooks” button on the PASSPORT schedule of classes.
College-Level Communication and Computation SkillsState Rule 6A-10.30, requires each Associate in Arts (AA) degree program student to complete six credits of college-level mathematics; taking the appropriate General Education mathematics courses will satisfy the mathematics portion of the requirement.
In addition, State Rule 6A-10.030 requires each AA degree program student to complete six semester hours of English and six semester hours of additional courses in which the student demonstrates college-level writing skills through multiple assignments. Because Polk State College uses a “Writing across the Curriculum” approach to meeting the writing requirement, in addition to the required composition courses, any of the required Social Sciences and Humanities courses will fulfill this writing requirement. A minimum grade of C is required for all courses used to fulfill the Communications and Mathematics areas of the General Education requirements.
This is not a writing emphasis course, but it may include writing assignments as a part of course requirements.
Student HelpThe professor is available for help during posted hours and by appointment during other non-class hours. Each student is encouraged to seek assistance from the professor. To further the educational process, the Learning Resources Centers, comprised of the campus Teaching/Learning and Computing Centers (TLCCs), JDA Student Success Center, and campus libraries, are available for student use. Each resource provides qualified staff and up-to-date equipment and facilities to promote academic success. The TLCCs and JDA Student Success Center provide tutoring services, computing resources, and other instructional support. The library provides information resources, individual and group study space, research assistance, information literacy instruction, and computing resources. Each facility provides free wireless access to the Internet. The Polk State College Library, Student Success Center, and TLCC hours of operation and tutoring schedules are posted at each facility and on the College website.
Withdrawing From a CourseA student may officially withdraw from a course during any given term, provided he or she follows the appropriate policy and procedure. Following the conclusion of the Drop period, students may officially withdraw without receiving a grade from any course, provided they do so no later than the published withdrawal deadline. The published deadline reflects approximately (but no more than) 70% of the term, based upon the course’s scheduled duration. It is the student’s responsibility to submit these withdrawal forms; failure to do so may result in a grade of F in the course. Under the Forgiveness Policy, a student is allowed only three attempts in any one course: one initial enrollment and two repeats. A student is not allowed to withdraw from a third course attempt. Limited admission programs may have specific guidelines regarding course withdrawal that vary from this policy; these guidelines are listed in the specific program handbooks. If a student stops attending class, the grade earned, usually an F, is assigned and posted. Prior to withdrawing from a course, the student should consult with the Financial Aid Office to determine what impact, if any, withdrawal from the course will have on his or her financial aid status. A student cannot use course withdrawal to avoid academic dishonesty penalties. A student who has been penalized for academic dishonesty in a course is not eligible to withdraw from the course.
Repeating a CourseUnder the Forgiveness Policy, a student is allowed only three attempts in any one college credit course: one initial enrollment and two repeats. Under certain circumstances, a student may petition to repeat a credit course beyond the third attempt. Limited admission programs may have specific guidelines regarding repeating courses that vary from this policy; these guidelines are listed in the specific handbooks. The student should be aware that repeating a course may result in a higher course cost. A course cannot be repeated unless the previously earned grade is a D, F, or W (the Polk State Catalog provides further details regarding this process). Prior to repeating a course, the student should consult with the Financial Aid Office to determine what impact, if any, repeating the course will have on his or her financial aid status.
Academic DishonestyEach student is responsible for his or her work. It is assumed that each student is honest and will abide by this standard; however, in the event that there is an indication or suspicion of cheating or plagiarism, the situation shall be dealt with in accordance with the published College policy. Copies of this policy are available in the Student Services Office. More specific information can be found in the Course Syllabus.
Information Technology Access/Use PolicyThe information technology resources provided by Polk State College (this includes, but is not limited to, telephones, computers, the Polk State Local Area and Wide Area Networks, and the Internet) must be used for academic purposes only. Use of these resources is a privilege, not a right. Inappropriate use can result in revocation or suspension of this privilege.

Note: Limited admission programs may have performance restrictions that apply. Restrictions (where applicable) are outlined in each program’s student handbook.
Evaluative Criteria: The final course grade is determined from a combination of lecture and laboratory assessments.
Lecture Exams (4-6) 60 - 70%
Assignments/Activities 0 - 15%
Writing Assignments 0 - 10%
The last lecture exam is given during final exam week.
Lab Exams/Practical Exams (4-5) 25 - 30%
Lab Activities/Participation 1 - 10%
Exact course grade calculations are explained by the individual instructor on the first day of class, through the specific course information sheet.
There is no extra credit.
There are no dropped test scores.
The grading scale is as follows:
A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79% D = 60-69% F = 0-59%
Attendance:
Regular attendance is the student’s responsibility. Failure to attend class regularly severely hinders the chance of successful completion of this course. Tardiness (or leaving a class early) counts as one-half of an absence. A student may be dropped from class for excessive absences (i.e., more than seven combined total hours from lecture and lab). A student who is dropped for nonattendance before the no-fault drop deadline receives a grade of W (unless it is a third attempt of the class). Withdrawal is not permitted on the third course attempt. A student who stops attending after the no-fault drop deadline, or who is dropped during his or her third attempt of the class, receives a grade of F. It is not the instructor’s responsibility to withdraw a student who stops attending class; this is the responsibility of the student.
Work Missed:
As a general rule, students need to take exams in their scheduled class section and must complete assignments and class papers according to their due dates. There are no make ups for missed lab exams, or in class activities and quizzes. In addition there are no dropped exams, retests or extra credit.
