GRADING Student Name Class Tests: Upon completion of each chapter, or section, tests will be challenged, by the student, and count 25% of the final grade. Student Test Grades Final x 2 = Average x.25 = Final Theory Grade Note Avg. (Per syllabus) Test Grade must be higher than 69 to get a overall grade better than D Shop Grade : This grade is based on work completed in the shop, how well you work in the shop, attendance, how well you work with others and Chapter Job Sheets. The shop grade will count as 25%of your final grade. Student Earned There will be shop clean up as needed. Daily Grade: This grade is based upon the student s willingness to participate in class and out in the shop. Participation in the classroom and shop includes, but is not limited to, the student bringing their tools textbooks and supplies every day. Daily grades count for15%of the final grade. Each day is worth 6.25 points multiplied by the total number of class days, (generally 16 days). Student Absences X 6.25 = Student earned x.15= Cengage Mind Tap Online Learning Activities Due on Wednesday of the last week of Class. Counts 20% of the final grade.

Time and days of class. Notes will be as complete as possible. I will be looking for notes taken from every class discussion and from every Chapter. For example, we may talk about a particular subject for more than one day. Your notes should be dated and include the particular chapter being discussed. To earn 20 points in this area, students must take copious notes from all discussions in all chapters. All handouts that will fit in your notebook must be in your notebook to receive all twenty points. If you don t know if you should keep something ask your instructor. ASE style Chapter Quiz homework questions at the end of each chapter must be included in your notebook. To get all 20 points, the questions must be answered completely.
They must also be in order by chapter. All notebooks must be neat and in order as stated above and by chapter and date. For example, points will be taken off if the chapters are out of order or the notes are out of order according to the date or out of the order as stated above.

Notebooks will be checked at the end of each week and due the last day of class. Student Earned Attendance: The Houston Community College Automotive Program is designed to prepare students for the workforce. You will be dropped for 6 absences. Student Absences 1. Lab activities will constitute 25% and tests will make up 25% of total grade. 2. Mind Tap assignments a student will not be given a passing grade, "D", without 100 per cent participation in Mind Tap and completion of homework assignments. 3. A passing grade, "D", will not be awarded to any student who has not achieved an average letter grade of "C" or higher on exams. 4. A positive constructive attitude also plays an important part in the overall evaluation of the shop work and will be directly related to the shop grade. Any withdrawals are the responsibility of the student. If the student fails to make the withdrawal by the drop date, an automatic grade of "FX" will be awarded. The Houston Community College Automotive Program is designed to prepare students for the workforce. You will be dropped for 6 absences.

The Grading Scale: 90-100 A 80-89 B 70-79 C 60-69 D 1-59 F COURSE POLICIES: 1. Regular attendance is required. Only limited absences and tardies will be accepted if a grade better than a "D" is expected. 2. Students are required to maintain a "C" average, or a grade point average of 2.00. This means that the average of all classes must be a "C" in order to obtain either a certificate of completion, or degree. Students who either arrive late for class, leave early, and/or bring no tools cannot expect to complete lab assignments in a timely manner and receive a grade better than "D". For further information see the sections on "graduation" and "Academic Suspension" in the Administration Information area of the current HCCS Catalog. 3. Students are expected to purchase their own tools. A list of the minimum type and number of tools are furnished at the beginning of each semester. Each student will have his/her own tools available for shop work at beginning of each class period. Loaning or borrowing of tools between students is discouraged. Specialty tools, tools not on the student tool list, are available from the instructor. Safety is always first. Common sense and our certifying agency, NATEF, require that all students wear safety glasses in the shop. Students must also wear professional attire similar to that found in a professional automotive repair shop. Flip flops, loose baggy clothing or clothing that is too revealing in nature that is distracting to other students are all are unsafe for the shop environment. Students without professional attire to include safety glasses will be prohibited from any shop activities. Each student is strongly encouraged to participate in class. In any classroom situation that includes discussion and critical thinking, there are bound to be many differing viewpoints. These differences enhance the learning experience and create an atmosphere where students and instructors alike will be encouraged to think and learn. On sensitive and volatile topics, students may sometimes disagree not only with each other but also with the instructor. It is expected that faculty and students will respect the views of others when expressed in classroom discussions. 4. By applying to and registering at Houston Community College, students agree to abide by the Student Discipline Policy and Student Rights and Responsibilities regulations published in the HCCS College Catalog and this Student Handbook. Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include student profit associated with any lab project, scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to cheating on an exam or quiz, plagiarizing, and unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work. Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their thought, research or self-expression. Academic work is defined as, but not limited to tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper, projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations, and homework. Prohibited acts include disruptive conduct of any kind. Disruptive conduct is defined as, but not limited to: Behavior that significantly interferes with or disrupts any HCCS teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary, public service or other authorized activity. Behavior that threatens the health or safety of members of the HCCS community, visitors to HCCS, or participants at HCCS-sponsored events, or willful negligence in the performance of lab projects. The minimum penalty for violation of these policies is a grade of "F" for the course. HCCS AUMT will utilize a progressive discipline approach when applicable to include verbal warning, written warning, then withdrawal from the course.
5. Each HCCS campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office for Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes. Students are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the semester. Religious Holidays: If you observe a religious holiday and miss class, you must notify your instructor in writing two weeks in advance to arrange to take a test or make up an assignment. A religious holiday is a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20, Tax Code. Administrative Withdrawals Students may be dropped from a course after accumulating absences in excess of 12.5% of the total hours of instruction (lecture and lab). For a 3 credit-hour lecture/lab course meeting 5 hours per week (96 hours of instruction), you can be dropped after 12.5 hours of absence. Administrative drops are at the discretion of the instructor. Failure to withdraw officially may result in a grade of FX in the course. Make-Up Policy All students that miss assignments must ask the instructor for make-up work. If make-up work is not asked for it will not be given. All assignments with no grade at the end of the grading period will receive a grade of 0 for that particular assignment. Make-up work may not be identical to the original assignment.

AUTOMOBILES FOR SHOP WORK: Although cars are always needed for shop, whose car and which car is worked on first is not considered an important part of the course. All cars being worked on in the shop must first be approved by the instructor. Even though emergencies occur with cars breaking down, we are not here to schedule work as a garage would. Time schedules will not be considered or given as related to repair work of any given automobile. Only work related to the course will be considered. No work will be performed on a car if the subject has not first been covered in the classroom. If you experience any problems with your class, please discuss the problem with your instructor, Michael Cleveland at 713 718 8141 CARE AND CLEANING OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND SHOP AREA (including class room). All students will be expected to participate in shop and classroom cleanup at the end of each class period. Ample time will be allotted by the instructor for this purpose. All tools will be cleaned and put in the proper place before class will be dismissed.
