Class Participation Policy & Student Conduct A. Texas State Technical College challenges students to be learners who assume responsibility for being a part of a community of scholars. Student presence and participation in the classroom is an important component of this challenge. Furthermore, as part of its mission, TSTC offers an education that prepares students for professional employment. Each student is encouraged to develop a professional work ethic that reflects responsibility, initiative, and teamwork. B. Students are expected to attend all classes. Students who are absent from class miss opportunities to contribute to the learning environment of the classroom and are developing patterns that will not be tolerated in the professional workplace. C. In light of the above, the student is responsible for all assigned course work and cannot be absolved of this responsibility. When enrolled in a particular course, the student is obligated to do all of the work assigned. Punctual and regular attendance is vital to the discharge of this obligation and absences, excused or not, do not alter this responsibility. D. Students are expected to be in class at the scheduled time. Students that are more than five minutes late for class will be marked as absent. Student may remain in class, but will not receive credit in any part of the class that day. If a student comes to class during the first five minutes, they will be marked “Tardy” and two tardies will count as one absence. Students whose absences exceed 15 percent (4.5 absences) of the scheduled classes and laboratories may receive an “F” for the course. E. Student Conduct 1. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and to dress in the appropriate attire (long pants, safety glasses and leather boots) for the lab at all times. Safety glasses are not required during the classroom lectures. Failure to be in the proper attire can result in being counted absent and a “0” for the day. 2. Each student is expected to act responsibly and take the consequences for his/her action or inaction as appropriate. F. Classroom Etiquette 1. An atmosphere of respect will be expected of all within the classroom. 2. No use of electronic devices during scheduled class activities, unless otherwise approved by instructor prior to class. 3. Any open displays of prejudice, harassment, etc. will not be tolerated. 4. Any student who disrupts the classroom will be asked to leave and will receive a zero on all work due that day and will be counted as absent for the day. 5. A second disruption by that student will be grounds for the student to be administratively dropped from the class and other disciplinary action will be taken as appropriate. 6. There will be no smoking, dipping, chewing tobacco or use of profane language in the classroom. In accordance with the student handbook there is to be no tobacco usage within 35 ft. of the buildings.

Cheating / Plagiarism Policy TSTC expects all students to engage in scholastic pursuits in a manner that is beyond reproach. Students are expected to maintain complete honesty and integrity. Any student found guilty of scholastic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on academic work (such as copying, bribing, or buying/selling tests), plagiarism (claiming another’s work as one’s own without acknowledgement INCLUDING Internet data), and collusion (unauthorized collaboration). See College Catalogue for additional information.

Safety All students in this course will comply with all general safety rules, which apply to the type of activity in progress in each class. Clear safety glasses covering the eyes will be worn during labs. Long jeans and leather boots will be worn at all times while in classroom/lab. Violation of course safety rules can result in grade penalties and/or other appropriate disciplinary action. Backpacks will remain in classroom or in lockers secured. Not on the shop floor.
