3 MET DEPARTMENT POLICIES MET Department Passing Grade Requirements Policy Students must obtain a passing grade (at least 50%) in both the lecture component and the laboratory component of the course. If the student receives a failing grade (less than 50%) in either the lab or lecture component, the final mark for the whole course will be no more than 49%. 80% of assignments must be attempted in order to pass the course. Late assignments will be graded as per the MET department marking standard. MET Department Laboratory Attendance Policy Attendance of each lab period is mandatory. If a student misses a lab period due to illness, a doctor s note must be provided. In that case, that lab will not count for or against you. Any student missing three or more labs, regardless of the reason(s) will be awarded a maximum final mark of 49%; you will fail the course overall. Laboratory attendance will be recorded. MET Department Late Policy All late assignments and laboratories will have 10% per day deducted from the final mark. The maximum number of overdue days in which work will be accepted is four days. Any work not submitted within four school days will be marked as incomplete. There are no exceptions to this rule unless accompanied by a doctor s note. MET Department Collection of Student Work Policy This is a requirement of the accreditation process. Samples of student work will be collected during the term. At the end of the semester, each professor is responsible for collecting a complete copy of the best student's work. This will include class notes, assignments, labs, exams etc. This copy will be archived. MET Department safety policy Safety glasses and steel toe shoes must be worn at all times during physical labs and when you are in the machine shop. No equipment in the lab or machine shop shall be used without instructor supervision. OKANAGAN COLLEGE POLICIES Okanagan College Academic Misconduct Policy: Any incidents of academic misconduct, as outlined in the Academic Offences policy in the Okanagan College calendar, may result in a mark of 0% or another consequence permitted by the policy. In cases of severe or repetitive misconduct, the Dean s office and the College Registrar will be notified and the student may be given a failing grade for the course or a more serious consequence as permitted by the policy, such as expulsion. The Academic Offences policy can be located online at the following link: Okanagan College Student Notification of OC Policies: Okanagan College requires that students are informed of acceptable student conduct specifically relating to OC Student Non-Academic Conduct and Student Academic Offences policies.

4 Student Non Academic Conduct: What Is The Disruption Of Instructional Activities? At Okanagan College (OC), disruption of instructional activities includes student conduct which interferes with examinations, lectures, seminars, tutorials, group meetings, other related activities, and with students using the study facilities of OC, as well as conduct that leads to property damage, assault, discrimination, harassment or fraud. Penalties for disruption of instructional activities can include a warning and/or a failing grade on an assignment, examination or course, or possible suspension from OC. The complete policy is available online at: Academic+Conduct+Policy.pdf Student Academic Conduct: What Is Cheating? Cheating includes but is not limited to dishonest or attempted dishonest conduct during tests or examinations in which the use is made of books, notes, diagrams or other aids excluding those authorized by the examiner. It includes communicating with others for the purpose of obtaining information, copying from the work of others and purposely exposing or conveying information to other students who are taking the test or examination. Students must submit independently written work. Students may not write joint or collaborative assignments with other students unless the professor approves it in advance as a group/team project. Students who share their work with other students are equally involved in cheating. What Is Plagiarism? Plagiarism is defined as the presentation of another person s work or ideas without proper or complete acknowledgement. It is the serious academic offence of reproducing someone else s work, including words, ideas and media, without permission for course credit towards a certificate, diploma, degree and/or professional designation. The defining characteristic is that the work is not yours. Intentional plagiarism is the deliberate presentation of another s work or ideas as one s own. Intentional plagiarism can be a copy of material from a journal article, a book chapter, data from the Internet, another student, work submitted for credit in another course or from other sources. Unintentional plagiarism is the inadvertent presentation of another s work or ideas without proper acknowledgement because of poor or inadequate practices. Unintentional plagiarism is a failure of scholarship; intentional plagiarism is an act of deceit. What Are The Students Responsibilities To Avoid Plagiarism? Students have a responsibility to read the OC Plagiarism Policy and Procedures outlined in the OC calendar, which is available online at: Students are responsible for learning and applying the proper scholarly practices for acknowledging the work and ideas of others. Students who are unsure of what constitutes plagiarism should refer to the UBC publication Plagiarism Avoided; Taking Responsibility for your Work. This guide is available in OC bookstores and libraries. Mech 257 Course Outline rev.1, 2016 Okanagan College Page 4 of 7

5 Students must acknowledge the sources of information used on all their assignments. This usually involves putting the authors name and the year of publication in parentheses after the sentence in which you used the material, then at the end of your paper, writing out the complete references in a Reference section. Students are expected to understand research and writing techniques and documentation styles. Unless otherwise directed by the professor, use the American Psychological Association (APA) or Modern Language Association (MLA) style and cite references using the APA guidelines. A copy of the APA manual is available in the OC libraries, and the library website has online resources available on both major citing styles. What Are The Penalties For Plagiarism And Cheating? Okanagan College professors may actively monitor student work for plagiarism or cheating and will follow the Okanagan College Policies when an offense is suspected. A student found to have committed an offense may receive a formal letter of reprimand outlining the nature of the infraction, or further disciplinary action depending on the severity of the offense or whether this is a repeat occurrence. The Dean s Office of the Science, Technology and Health portfolio, along with the College Registrar, record and monitor all reported instances of plagiarism and cheating. General rules 1. Attending lectures is highly recommended. Attending labs is mandatory. Students are expected to be prepared for each class and to participate in class work. Class periods should be used efficiently. 2. Valid excuses for absence is illness or close personal bereavement both must be verifiable. 3. Positive class environment must be maintained. Personal harassment, religious harassment, racism, sexual harassment, profane language, personal discrimination will not be tolerated. (For more details see course calendar.) Respect your colleagues, teachers, yourself, and College polices. 4. Students must come in time for the tests. Test times are limited! More details about the test will be explained during the term. Not showing for exam cannot be accommodated. 5. No electronic devices are allowed during the class time and exams (lectures, labs, and tests): all cell phones, cameras, laptops, MP3 players, PDA etc must be turned off. Playing games, internet browsing etc will not be tolerated during class time! 6. Assignments and lab reports must follow the standards set up by department refer to the samples given by the instructor. 7. No food and drinks are allowed in classrooms and labs. Classrooms must be kept clean at all the time. 8. Missed labs: All students should understand the difference between an excused or unexcused absence. Okanagan College defines an absence as: missing all or part of any scheduled classroom, laboratory, shop, clinical or practicum placement and includes arriving more than ten minutes late for class at commencement or following class breaks, and leaving the class at any time before the end of the scheduled instructional period. Again as noted in the Calendar, an excused absence may be attributable to: personal illness, medical treatment injury, disability, mental disorder, a visit to a doctor, death in the immediate family, job interview, legal proceedings, care for an ill or injured dependent or spouse, or responsibilities as a parent or guardian (e.g. conference with a school teacher). Participation in certain sporting events, field trips and College sanctioned events may also qualify as an excused absence, however, because this kind of event is generally known in advance, the student must consult with his or her professors prior to the absence. An unexcused absence is any absence that is not described above. Sleeping in, recreation, taking an early vacation, taking part in an event not sanctioned by the College are all unexcused absences. In this context, it is understood that on rare occasions a student may miss a lab because of an excused absence. To avoid being penalized that student must: a. Discuss the situation with their instructor. If at all possible this discussion should occur before the excused absence. b. Provide documentation of their excused absence such as a doctor s note. In such instances the student may: i. Be asked to complete the lab at another time OR ii. Have their lab mark adjusted to reflect a lesser number of labs Mech 257 Course Outline rev.1, 2016 Okanagan College Page 5 of 7

6 A student will not be penalized for missing one lab if it is for a legitimate and documented excused absence. In all instances, whether the lab is missed for a legitimate reason or not, the student is responsible for the material covered in the lab. Moreover, a student who is absent for more labs than is permitted in the course outline will not be allowed to pass the course even if they have a legitimate reason for those absences. No accommodations will be made for unexcused absences. 80% Assignment completion rule Preamble: Engineering Technologists in industry are required to deliver their work on time. If they miss a deadline then there are serious consequences, such as monetary penalties or the loss of contracts. In the Mechanical Engineering Technology program we would like to prepare our students for working in industry. So, we have standards that are intended to encourage the students work efficiently, keep up with the pace of the class, and hand in assignments on time. For work handed in after the deadline, the following rules apply: 1. One school day late is a 10% reduction (If the assignment is out of 20 marks then you lose 2 marks, regardless of your actual mark) 2. Two school days late is a 30% reduction 3. Three school days late is a 60% reduction 4. Four school days late or more is a reduction of 100% 5. After seven calendar days the assignment will not be accepted. 6. If you have completed and submitted less than 80% of the assigned work in a course during the semester, then the following penalty will be applied to your final mark: Grade = Final Course Mark - (100% - % Complete) For example, if your final course mark is 60%, but you have only handed in 70% of the assigned work, then your final grade is 60% - (100%-70%) = 30% Note: No penalty will be assessed as long as your % complete is 80% or higher.
