P.	Grading and Testing Guidelines:

The point value of each assignment is given on each assignment sheet. The final grade will be determined on an accumulative point basis. The student is referred to the college grading scale as printed in the most recent college catalog and in Section O above.

A Word About Grammar And Spelling – Written communication is required of most early childhood personnel. It is important that you apply the skills taught in your communication courses to your other course work. Error in grammar and spelling affect your grade on written papers and projects prepared outside of class.

It is unacceptable for students to submit the same work in different courses.

It is unacceptable for students to submit the same work for different assignments in the same course.
Both of the above are considered to be forms of dishonesty.
It is, however, expected that ECE students will utilize teaching materials and plans developed in methods courses when engaged in practicum and student teaching field experiences.

Assignments must be picked up before the end of the next term (fall assignments need to be picked up by end of spring semester, spring assignments by end of summer term, and summer assignments by end of fall semester). Any items left behind after that time will become the property of the Early Childhood Education Program at North Central College.

Q.	Examination Policy:

Tests/Exams must be made up within one week after they have been given in class. Make-up test will be administered at the instructor's convenience. The testing center will be available on certain days and during specific hours. You must notify your instructor IN ADVANCE if you will not be in attendance for test and/or exams

R.	Class Attendance and Homework Make-Up Policy:

Attendance in class and lab is the candidate’s responsibility. The candidate is responsible for all material covered in class. Absence from a class does not excuse a student from assignment dates. It is the student’s responsibility to see that the assignment is delivered or e-mailed to the instructor. Assignments are due as outlined on the course syllabus. Late papers or projects may not be accepted or the grade will be lowered by 10% each class meeting the paper is late. Written work must be submitted on the appropriate forms. Presentation and research reports must be typed. Papers torn from notebooks are not acceptable. Candidates must complete all of the assignments in order to pass the course.

S.	Classroom Expectations:

All students are expected to demonstrate professional behavior and use language appropriate for the classroom learning experience.

Electronic Equipment Policy – Cell phone, pagers, iPods, must all be turned OFF during class time. If you need to have your cell phone on for emergency reasons, please clear that with the instructor before class begins.

Lab Expectations: In order to use the lab facility, it is important that each candidate take responsibility to keep the lab clean and in good condition. This would include making sure you put all materials and equipment away when you finish with them, being resourceful with the materials, and using the equipment appropriately. Misuse of any of the above, will result in losing Lab privileges and materials and/or the loss of 5% of your total grade for the course.
