4 Learning Objective, Students Learning Outcome, and Program Spec Note: This section of the syllabus provides the general course learning objectives, the expected students learning outcome, the course scope in terms of the department program, and the instrument used to evaluate the course. If you have any question, contact the instructor or the department for answers. HCC Grading Scale Grade GPA Points A = points per semester hour B = 89-80: 3 points per semester hour C = 79-70: 2 points per semester hour D = 69-60: 1 points per semester hour 59 and below = F IP (In Progress) W(Withdrawn) I (Incomplete) AUD (Audit) FX (stopped attending and no work) IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA. EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System Title IX At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires that institutions have policies and procedures that protect students right with regard to sex/gender discrimination. Information regarding these rights are on the HCC website under Student-Antidiscrimination. Students who are pregnant and require accommodations should contact any of the ADA Counselors for assistance. It is important that every student understand and conforms to respectful behavior while at HCC. Sexual misconduct is not condoned and will be addressed promptly. Know your rights and how to avoid these difficult situations. Log in Sign in using your HCC student account, then go to the button at the top right that says Login and enter your student number.
