This will be done by giving each student an objective pre-test

8 covering the course contents at the beginning of the semester and administering the same instrument as a post-test at the conclusion of the course. A comparison will then be made. Attendance Policy Absences that occur due to students participating in official college activities are excused except in those cases where outside bodies, such as the State Board of Nursing, have requirements for minimum class minutes for each student. Students who are excused will be given reasonable opportunity to make up any missed work or receive substitute assignments from the instructor and should not be penalized for the absence. Proper procedure should be followed in notifying faculty in advance of the student s planned participation in the event. Ultimately it is the student s responsibility to notify the instructor in advance of the planned absence. Unless students are participating in a school activity or are excused by the instructor, they are expected to attend class. If a student s absences exceed one-hundred (100) minutes per credit hour for the course or, in the case of on-line or other non-traditional courses, the student is inactive for one-eighth of the total course duration, the instructor has the right, but is not required, to withdraw a student from the course. Once the student has been dropped for excessive absences, the registrar s office will send a letter to the student, stating that he or she has been dropped. A student may petition the chief academic officer for reinstatement by submitting a letter stating valid reasons for the absences within one week of the registrar s notification. If the student is reinstated into the class, the instructor and the registrar will be notified. Academic Integrity NCCC expects every student to demonstrate ethical behavior with regard to academic pursuits. Academic integrity in coursework is a specific requirement. Definitions, examples, and possible consequences for violations of Academic Integrity, as well as the appeals process, can be found in the College Catalog, Student Handbook, and/or Code of Student Conduct and Discipline. Cell Phone Policy Student cell phones and pagers must be turned off during class times. Faculty may approve an exception for special circumstances. ADVISORY COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT The Industrial Engineering Technology program maintains a Board of Reference for this vocational component. The coordinator communicates with the Board on a regular basis concerning issues or problems that occur and meets with the group one or two times each year.
