There is no textbook for this course. Learning materials will be in the form of experience and training achieved on the job. B. Attendance Policy – The South Plains College attendance policy is stated in the General Catalog. Punctual and regular attendance in class is required of all Design Communications students. Each student is responsible for all class work covered while he or she was not in class. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may complete makeup work assignments for unavoidable absences. The instructor uses discretion to administer an “X” or “F” grade when a student has excessive absences. In the event a student is not able to complete course work, he or she is expected to take initiative to initiate a student withdrawal notice that results in a “W” grade when completed before the last college “Drop date.” All students must complete or remain in compliance with TASP requirements. Because of the nature of this program, the Design Communications program has modified the absentee policy as follows: After a student has missed four regular days of class, his or her final grade will be dropped one letter for each additional absence. A student who has missed six class days will be dropped by the instructor. Tardiness for three class days equals one absence and will be used to consider this policy. Excused absence: An absence that has been discussed prior to the missed class and arrangements have been made to make up the work; or a student presents documentation as explanation of the absence. Making up an unexcused absence: It is at the instructor’s discretion to allow a student to do additional work to make up an unexcused absence. Students that are sick or ill are urged to stay home and not get their fellow classmates sick also. If a student is ill, the student should call the instructor prior to the beginning of the class to inform the instructor that he or she is ill and will not be attending class on that day. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that they contact the instructor to get any missed assignments. The lab is an intricate part of this class. If a student attends the class but misses the lab, the student will be marked absent for the whole class period. The chairperson of the Creative Arts Department, Administration, or Counseling Department must approve, in writing, any deviation from the attendance policy. C. Assignment policy: All required work must be turned in on time in order that the student may benefit from the corrections and study for future examinations. Assigned outside work is DUE ON THE CLASS PERIOD ASSIGNED. Latework is generally not acceptable; however, special consideration is subject to the instructor’s discretion for exceptional circumstances. The instructor has sole discretion whether the exception is cleared and whether or not the work is acceptable. Should the instructor agree to accept late work, the assignment will be downgraded 5 points per day for each class day the assignment is late. D. Grading Policy/Procedure and/or methods of evaluation: A student’s final grade is determined by averaging all job logs and project logs with direct input from the employer. (Note: See the General College Catalog “Grade and Reports” for explanation of grades and grade point averages.” Projects are graded on completeness, presentation
