EVALUATIONS AND GRADING:

Final class average for Summer terms will be based upon 2 major exams, Highest 10 out of 18 - 20 5-question quizzes, a laboratory grade and a final exam will determine final grade. Each score will be given equal weight when computing your final grade; i. e., 20% each.

A = ( 90% 1) Quiz average (Highest 10 of 18 – 20 quizzes)

B = 80 - 89% 2) Exam 1 grade (50 question multiple choice)

C = 70 - 79% 3) Exam 2 grade (50 question multiple choice)

D = 60 - 69% 4) Laboratory grade

F = ( 59% 5) Final exam grade (50 question multiple choice)

*** Average of these five (5) grades is the final grade for the course.

Exams will be multiple choice. All exams will be comprehensive with concentration on current designated material. Daily tests and/or homework will be assigned and graded at the discretion of the instructor. Any extra graded assignments will be averaged into your quiz grade.

ABSENCES AND MAKE-UPS:

A. Lecture: While attendance does not count for a percentage of your grade, it is

strongly recommended if you wish to pass the course. If you miss a class, get the

notes from another student.

B. Exams: No make-ups on tests, quizzes or final exam. However, if a major exam is missed for good reason, the value of the final exam will be counted as the missed exam. A second missed exam will be entered as a zero - that is, the final exam will not be used to sub. for a second missed exam...it will only be used once and the Final Exam will not be dropped.

ALSO NOTE: If exam is missed, the final exam will NOT be a substitutionary grade for a low score on exams 1 or 2. The final exam will only count extra for an exam missed due to good reason.

C. Labs: Attendance is mandatory. One lab make-up is allowed at non-scheduled

times during the week that lab is performed (see instructor for arrangement).

GUARANTEED GRADUATE:

NHMCCD guarantees that graduates of its Associates of Arts, Associates of Science, and Associate of Applied Science and Certificate programs, providing under certain circumstances, additional education and training tuition free to students lacking appropriate mastery of specified competencies.

COMPUTER VIRUS PROTECTION:

Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life. Using the diskettes on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a virus. This exposes the computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. Tomball College has anti-virus procedures in place to protect all computers under you control and use and ensure that each diskette you use has been scanned with anti-virus software prior to using Tomball College computer.

SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS

Students with special needs should contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester

WITHDRAWAL POLICY:

Withdrawal from class is the responsibility of the student and must be

done by "W-day". (See catalog for date or check with Registrar's Office).

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT:

It is the policy of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District to provide equal employment, admission and educational opportunities without regard to race, color, or disability. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated.

Campus Carry Statement

The Texas Legislature enacted campus carry by passing Senate Bill 11, effective at LSC on August 1, 2017. Senate Bill 11, known as the “Campus Carry” law, amends Texas law to allow license holders to carry concealed handguns on college campuses. To carry a concealed handgun on LSC campuses, an individual must have a valid License to Carry issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

LSC has established rules and regulations regarding enforcement of Campus Carry. Lone Star College prohibits concealed carry in some areas of LSC campuses. For more information about Campus Carry, visit the LSC Campus Carry website at .

Office in Designated Exclusion Zone

As permitted by Lone Star College regulations, I have designated my faculty office in West Rm 224B as an exclusion zone where concealed carry is prohibited. Office hours are by appointment and will be in West Rm 132 (a non-exclusion zone) at specified times agreed upon.

Academic Integrity: The Lone Star College System upholds the core values of learning: honesty, respect, fairness, and accountability. We promote the importance of personal and academic honesty. We embrace the belief that all learners – students, faculty, staff and administrators – will act with integrity and honesty and must produce their own work and give appropriate credit to the work of others. No fabrication of sources, cheating, or unauthorized collaboration is permitted on any work submitted within the District. Consequences for academic dishonesty to be determined by the professor, or the professor and Academic Dean, or the professor and Chief Student Services Officer can include but are not limited to: 1.) having additional class requirements imposed, 2.) receiving a grade of zero or “F” for an exam or assignment, 3.) receiving a grade of “F” for the course, 4.) being withdrawn from the course or program, 5.) being expelled from the college district. Consequences for academic dishonesty in Biology 1406: Any student that violates the academic integrity policy will receive a zero, “0” for the exam or assignment. A second offense will result in withdrawal from the course by the instructor with a grade of “F” for the course.

Advising /Degree Plans: Degree plans for programs offered at Tomball College can be located in the Lone Star College catalog or at: . For additional assistance or more information on degree plans or future courses that LSCS- Tomball may offer, please contact LSC-Tomball Advising: 281.351.3310 or tcinfo@lonestar.edu .

Withdrawal Policy: Withdrawal from a course after the official day of record will result in a mark of “W” on the student’s transcript and no credit will be awarded for the course(s). If a student registers and pays for a course, it is the students responsibility to drop/withdraw before the W date.. The withdrawal will only be processed if the student completes and submits for signature the required withdrawal form(s) that may be obtained from any Lone Star Admissions Office. The student is strongly encouraged to consult with the faculty member and/or a counselor/advisor prior to submitting the request for withdrawal. Prior to the W date, faculty members may withdraw a student under appropriate circumstances which are outlined in the class syllabus.

Any circumstances under which the student may be withdrawn by the faculty member will be included in the class syllabus. Under Section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, “An institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more than SIX (6) courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped at another Texas public institution of higher education.”

Syllabus Change: While every attempt has been made to prepare this syllabus and class schedule in final form, it will be the instructor's prerogative to make any changes as may be deemed necessary in order to meet the learning outcomes of the course. Students will be notified in writing of changes.

Classroom Behavior: Student Conduct, Section 562.01d] states, “Disruptive activity that hinders other students’ learning or deters an instructor from effective teaching will not be tolerated under any circumstances.” For more information go to:
