Class Policies
Attendance: Professors are required to take attendance.
Students are expected to attend all courses and course activities for which they are registered. Any class
meeting missed, regardless of cause, reduces the opportunity of learning and may adversely affect a student's
achievement in the course. Students are required to attend at least 90% of the class meetings in order to receive
credit for the course. An accurate record of attendance will be kept for each class. If a student misses one-third
or more of a class section, the student will be counted absent. Three tardy (≥ 15 minutes) will count as one
absence. Leaving early is viewed in the same way as being late. Students who have missed more than 10% of
all classes may be withdrawn from the class or will be dropped one letter grade. Students, when officially
representing the College, such as on a field trip, will be granted an excused absence, provided their professors
are given prior notification and any missed assignments are subsequently completed to each professor's
satisfaction.
Students will also be granted excused absences in the case of a substantiated emergency such as a confining
illness, a serious accident or the death of an immediate relative. Professors decide on the validity of the excuses
and provide opportunities for students to complete any required make-up work. Students are responsible for
immediately informing their professors when they must miss class sessions for emergency meetings.

Electronic Device Use and Email Policy:
Students are not permitted to use cell phones during class, send text messages, web-surf, or listen to I-pods and
similar devices during class. Please turn off all cell phones, I-pods, MP3 players, etc. before entering the
classroom.
During a Test all electronic devices (cell phones, I-pod, I-pad, etc.) aside from calculators must be turned off
and stored out of sight. Students caught using any unapproved electronic device (regardless of purpose) during a
Test will receive a grade of zero for that Test. The required calculator is the Ti-83plus or Ti-84plus.
Calculators such as and including the TI-89 are not allowed in this class.
Email will be used at times to make announcements or update assignment due dates. Students should check
their PBSC email address frequently. E-mail addresses other than the one provided by the college will not be
used. Please identify yourself, the subject and to which class you belong when sending an email. E-mail must be
written paying attention to the rules of grammar and good writing. E-mail sent to me must conform to rules of
civility; do not send angry e-mails. I will not respond. Be professional. Do not use all capital letters in e-mail
correspondence, it is considered as rude as shouting. Please allow at least 24 hours for response to emails.
Late Assignment Policy:
Please see Make-up Exam Policy.
Make-up Exam Policy:
A student who misses a Test is expected to complete the missed test within one week of returning to school. If
the student does not accomplish this task within the one week period then they forfeit all points for the missed
assignments. Students who do not have written proof of an emergency will only receive 70% maximum on
all missed assignments. Students without written proof of emergency will not be allowed to make up more
than one test and will receive a grade of zero for any additional missed tests. Please see student handbook
for definition of written proof of emergency. Make-up tests must be taken in the PBSC Testing Center on the
Lake Worth campus. The Testing Center requires a government issued photo ID and a $5.00 fee (payable in
advance at the Cashier's Office) will be assessed for all make-up tests. It is the responsibility of the student to
make the appropriate arrangements for taking the test (Lake Worth Testing Center: 561-868-3012).
Withdrawal Policy:
Students who have missed more than 10% of all classes may be withdrawn from the class.
