Preparation Instructors expect students will prepare for class and complete reading, writing, and other assignments. On the average, students should expect to study two to three hours for every contact hour in class. Evaluation Criteria Reaction papers, oral or written quizzes, class exercises, essays, critical papers, portfolios, and examinations as well as class participation form the basis for students' evaluation in courses. The mixture of assignments and tasks will be determined by individual faculty during the semester. Absences Absences may occur.
Absent students are still responsible for completing the assignments.
Students should establish a buddy system and use that contact when they have to be absent. If a student will be absent for an extended time, the student or family members are asked to contact the Office of Student Affairs so that all of a student's teachers will be informed. Technical or student assistants usually staff it. Faculty mentors or technical or student assistants usually staff it. Students will need to check these facilities' operating hours each semester.
