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.
Updated: 2/14/2017
Page 6 of 9
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.
T.
College Procedures/Policies:
Attendance Requirements: All students are required to attend all scheduled classes and examinations.
Each faculty member has the right to establish regulations regarding attendance that he/she considers
necessary for successful study.
Students who do not attend classes may be administratively withdrawn from those classes. However,
failure to attend classes does not constitute withdrawal, and students are expected to process a formal
withdrawal though the Student Records Office in Kee Hall.
Student engagement requirements:
Student engagement is based on the “active pursuit” of learning which can be measured by class
attendance, class participation (in class or online), taking required quizzes/examinations, and submission of
Updated: 2/14/2017
Page 7 of 9
work assignments or papers. Student engagement consists of a student attending at least 60% of the class
sessions (there should be attendance throughout the term) and/or completing 75% of the assignments listed
on the syllabus at the midpoint in the term. Exceptions can be made when there is on-going
communication between the student and faculty member. The communication must be documented and the
faculty member and student must be in agreement regarding the exception. Students not meeting the
expectation will be administratively withdrawn from class. If a student believes he/she was
administratively withdrawn in error, he/she may file an appeal. Being administratively withdrawn may
have program and financial aid implications.
Academic Misconduct is any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the college, or
subvert the educational process. Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to:
1.
Violation of course or program rules as contained in the course syllabus or other information provided
to the student; violation of program requirements as established by departments and made available to
students.
2.
Plagiarism including, but not limited to, submitting, without appropriate acknowledgment, any written,
visual or oral material that has been copied in whole or in part from the work of others (whether such
source is published or not) even if the material is completely paraphrased in one’s own words. This
includes another individual’s academic composition, compilation, or other product, or a commercially
prepared paper. Plagiarism also includes submitting work in which portions were substantially
produced by someone acting as a tutor or editor.
Such practices constitute plagiarism regardless of motive. Those who deny deceitful intent, claim not
to have known that the act constituted plagiarism, or maintain that what they did was inadvertent are
nevertheless subject to penalties when plagiarism has been confirmed.
3.
Cheating and dishonest practices in connection with examinations, papers and projects, including but
not limited to using unauthorized notes, study aids or information on an examination; obtaining help
from another student during an examination; taking an exam or doing work for another student;
providing one’s own work for another student to copy and submit as his/her own; or allowing another
student to do one’s work and then submitting the work as one’s own. Also included would be altering
a graded work after it has been returned, then submitting the work for re-grading; or submitting
identical or similar papers for credit in more than one course without prior permission from the course
instructors.
4.
Fabrication including but not limited to falsifying or inventing any information, data or citation;
presenting data that were not gathered in accordance with defined appropriate guidelines, and failing to
include an accurate account of the method by which data were collected.
5.
Obtaining an Unfair Advantage including, but not limited to stealing, reproducing, circulating, or
otherwise gaining access to examination materials prior to the time authorized by the instructor;
unauthorized collaborating on an academic assignment; taking, hiding or altering resource material; or
undertaking any activity with the purpose of creating or obtaining an unfair advantage over another
student’s academic work.
6.
Aiding and Abetting Academic Dishonesty including, but not limited to providing material,
information or other assistance to another person with the knowledge that such aid could be used in
any of the violations stated above, or providing false information in connection with any inquiry
regarding academic integrity.
7.
Alteration of Grades or Marks including but not limited to, action by the student in an effort to change
the earned credit or grade.
In addition, cases of academic dishonesty may involve photocopied materials. Materials used may fall
under the Copyright Act. Violations of said Act may subject the user and/or the College to sanctions.

Statement on Disabilities: Any student who requires reasonable accommodations related to a disability
should inform the course instructor and the Coordinator of Specialized Services (Room 138 in Kee Hall;
phone 419-755-4727).
Students who encounter difficulty in any of their courses are encouraged to visit the Tutoring Resource
Center (Room 119 in Fallerius Technical Education Center) for tutoring assistance, and the Student Success
Center (Room 136 in Kee Hall) for academic assistance, advising services, referrals for personal counseling
and Learning Disability (LD) Testing.
Statement on Withdrawals: As a student, you are expected to attend class. If you are unable or choose not
to attend class, or if for whatever reason you are unable to keep up with the requirements of a course, you
need to officially drop the class at the Student Records Office. Refund dates and withdrawal dates will
vary slightly from term to term. Contact the Student Records Office for applicable dates. Additionally
these dates are posted on the academic calendar available on the college’s website,
www.ncstatecollege.edu, under the Academics heading on the home page and are available at the Student
Records Office in Kee Hall,. Students should go to the Student Records Office (Room 142 in Kee Hall) to
process their withdrawal from any class.
If you choose to walk away from your class without officially withdrawing from it, the faculty member
teaching the class must grade your classroom performance on the material available to him or her. This
normally results in an "F" grade. An "F" grade can lower your grade point average considerably depending
on the total credits accumulated.
