Means of accomplishing learning outcomes:

This course is a cooperative, competency-based learning program with required classroom lecture classes, learning activity guides, videos, handouts, hands-on instruction, DVD, and computer-assisted instruction.  Scheduled program workshops, seminars, special assigned projects, and style show attendance is required for credit.

EXAMINATIONS
The course examinations consist of written knowledge examinations and performance evaluations. A written knowledge examination is given upon completion of each Learning Activity Guide (Unit of Instruction). A 70% or higher is required. All major exams and review exams will be given only one time.

A performance evaluation of satisfactory or unsatisfactory is given for each Learning Activity Guide (Unit of Instruction) where performance is required.  If you receive an unsatisfactory the first time, you may practice and try again.

SAFETY
If you notice a mechanical or electrical hazard in the lab/classroom, notify the instructor immediately.  Know where all emergency “EXIT” doors and fire extinguishers are located.  If an accident of any type occurs, regardless of how trivial it may seem, notify the instructor immediately.

ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance, professional dress of black lab scrubs and black non-skid shoes with black socks is required of all students. Class is scheduled Monday – Thursday from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Each student is accountable to the instructor for all class absences. 

There are three acceptable excuses for absences: (1) severe illness (doctor-excused absences require written and signed excuse from doctor), (2) death in the immediate family, and (3) official college activity (approved by Student Services).  Any questionable excuse shall be verified by the Office of Workforce Development. Hours will not be credited for excused absences.  Students who flagrantly violate attendance regulations are subject to suspension or dismissal from a program. During a designated 450 clock hour semester a student absent 20 hours or a designated 180 clock hour semester a student absent 10 hours will be reviewed by the instructor and Dean for dismissal and will automatically fail the course (This is a program presented in sequence and the student may experience a lapse in the time before an opportunity to repeat the course).

Attendance in VPI courses is required and will be reviewed by the instructor and Dean and may result in dismissal from the course and program.  (This is a program presented in sequence and the student may experience a lapse in the time before an opportunity to repeat the course).

Tardiness to class is disruptive to learning and is unacceptable.  If the student is tardy, the student shall see his/her instructor at the END of the class day and the instructor will determine if the tardiness is excusable.  Students are required to clock in daily.  Instructors will not manually record time.  Only hours received by scanning fingerprints will be credited toward course completion.
