Attendance Policy

Attendance will be taken at some time during class meeting. The fall term Wednesday night section will only meet 10 times; each meeting represents 10% of the available instruction time. Your presence and participation is very important. As an integral member of a project team, you will be expected to be present for all team meetings.

Two or more unexcused absences may result in reducing your grade; i.e., an A becomes a A-, a A- becomes a B+, and so on. If you know you are going to be absent from class for an authorized University activity, please let the instructor know before hand. When unexpected problems arise, contact the instructor by phone or E-mail as soon as possible.


Students are responsible for the material covered in
all class sessions as well as all assignments.

VII

Access to University and Departmental Facilities

As access to the Department of Technology's computer resources is extremely limited, it is suggested that--for other than CAD drawing assignments--you consider using the various University PC labs on campus, especially the large PC lab in the D. P. Culp Center. Campus/departmental computer lab hours are as posted. Work permission cards must be used if you desire to work in any of the departmental labs. See your instructor for information.

For information on location and operating hours of other University computer labs, contact the Office of Information Technology (a.k.a. Computer Services) at 439-4648.

Hours of operation of the University's library are posted at the library and in various handouts. For more information contact the Sherrod Library at 439-5308.

VIII

Food, Drinks, and Tobacco Products


Only bottled water may be brought into the multimedia classroom (Room 205).
Absolutely no food or beverages are allowed in the computer lab at any time.


Food and drinks are never permitted in any of the University labs.  In certain lecture-type classrooms, food and beverages may be permitted by the instructor as long as the facilities are appropriately policed after use (i.e., clean up after yourselves).   When bringing thermally active caffine-based products to class, be care as contents may be hot!

The use of tobacco products (of any type) is completely prohibited in all University buildings including doorways.  Realizing that the solution to pollution is dilution, smoking is permitted in the great outdoors; however the University doesn't want you to litter, so park your butts in the cans, not in the grass.  To accomodate those addicted to fuming tobacco products, ETSU has set up a designated smokers' "Level 4 Hot Zone" in the D. P. Culp Center for indoor consumption.  For the orally inclined, leave your cups and bottles in your cars.
