• There will be numerous in class activities and homework assignments that will count for points. If you miss class, you miss the points. If you know you will miss class, see me so that we can try to work out a solution. 

• There will be 1-3 exams given throughout the semester, including the final.  These exams will consist of information presented in lecture, labs, and class presentations.  The exams may consist of a variety of questions including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, essay, or case scenarios.
• Quizzes may be given any day.
• If you miss an exam or quiz, assume you received a zero.

• You are required to complete a minimum of 12 hours of job shadowing a professional within the field/career that you are interested in pursuing.  After completing this project you are also required to prepare a typed paper describing your experience.  A brief presentation will also be presented to the class.
  

• Students are strongly encouraged to attend each scheduled class since some course related content and experiences are best attained in the classroom setting.  Failure to attend class may adversely affect the learning process and subsequent performance.  Attendance is expected!  Please notify the instructor in advance if you know that you are going to miss a class so that we can work out a solution.  Students are responsible for obtaining the information that they missed due to an absence.
• If a student is absent during a day that we are not in the classroom (i.e. field trip, tour, lab, etc.) they will automatically lose 2% towards this part of their overall grade.
