ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance simply means that you
were at the location where a scheduled class took place during
the scheduled time. The student will be responsible to sign in
and out on a sign in sheet made available by the instructor.
Attendance will be taken at the beginning of class and at
dismissal. If you are present at both gatherings, you will be
marked present. If you are not, you will be marked absent. You
will be marked as late if you are not in the classroom at the
beginning of class.
If you are going to miss a
class, you must notify the instructor in person, by phone, or by
email. If you fail to notify the instructor you will receive a
zero for any graded work performed during the class period
you’ve missed as well as be dismissed from the next class period
without makeup options.
There is no direct penalty for
accumulated absences in this course. However, it’s important to
remember that if you want
me to be a reference for a future job, then you need to
understand I will include your attendance history with whatever
else I might say about you.
Tardiness:
If a student arrives late for class, it is expected the student
will take their place as quietly as possible without causing any
disruptions. It is further expected the student will gather any
notes or information, which were presented before arrival, from
classmates or the instructor, when appropriate, without
disrupting the class that is already in session. Reasonable
consideration will be given to tardiness if it affects a
deadline. The instructor reserves all rights to define
reasonable.
The theme of this course
focuses on developing independence and meeting deadlines.
Schedules will be posted for projects’ due dates. Failure to
meet deadlines will result in a score of zero for that
assignment. If portions of your assignment can be completed at
home, you’re welcome to work at home. I would encourage you to
use lab time wisely in completing piping projects that can’t be
advanced as homework. I encourage you to utilize me as a
resource in solving technical problems, making adjustments to
project requirements, and completing projects.
Makeup:
Any makeup work will occur at the discretion of the instructor.
Students will assume the responsibility of initiating
arrangements for any and all makeup work in this course.
Extenuating circumstances will be considered at the discretion
of the instructor if communication regarding circumstance is
offered beforehand.
DISMISSAL:
Attendance
will be taken for the second time at the end of shop cleanup.
If you are eager to leave, agree to gather before you go to your
lockers. If someone goes to their locker or into the bathroom,
we will wait for everyone to gather before dismissal.
Dismissal is an important event in the laboratory period. You
will be given assignments, evaluations, and information during
this time. If you miss this important event, it is incumbent on
you to be responsible for any information disseminated at that
time. You must also be present for dismissal if you expect to be
counted in attendance for the day. Remember that the
responsibility to sign in and out is owned by the student.
(Review rule #21 – General Laboratory Rules – for specific
consequence for leaving before dismissal).

Eastern Maine Community College is committed to providing an
