They provide aresponsive audience and advice from experienced writers in sessions2

CPET 3161-P01Spring 2016generally lasting thirty to forty-five minutes. Sessions of this lengthoffer time to work individually with students on any aspect of thewriting process: from brain storming and drafting, to revising andproofreading. They will explore ways to improve a student’s overallwriting skills. They do NOT proofread or edit for students, butinstead teach proofreading and editing techniques. Their goal is to:make a better writer for the long term.The Tutoring CenterJohn B.

Perry College of Engineering Textbook PolicySubmission of AssignmentsAll assignments will be submitted on the eCourse web site for this course, unless otherwisespecified by the professor. Written assignments will be scanned to PDF form and submitted.The hardware for the Course Project will be presented and demonstrated on the final day of classfor credit as part of the course project grade.Note that scanners for Engineering Technology students will be available in SRC 203 and SRC302. Scanners are also available in the Coleman Library.Formatting DocumentsMicrosoft Word is the standard word processing tool used at PVAMU. If you’re using otherword processors, be sure to use the “save as” tool and save the document in either the MicrosoftWord, Rich-Text, or plain text format.Exam PolicyExams should be taken as scheduled. No makeup examinations will be allowed except underdocumented emergencies (See Student Handbook).Quizzes and Exams may include materialfrom any classroom activities. Additionally, the student is responsible for assigned readingsin the textbook, whether material is explicitly covered in class or not.Note that pop-quizzes may be given at any time during the class period to test theunderstanding of key concepts.For examination periods, students will place all backpacks, purses, and electronic devicesin the front of the classroom and will sit at locations designated by the instructor in theclassroom or lab for the duration of the exam. If the student needs to leave the exam forany reason during the examination period, the student must submit the exam to theinstructor and will not be allowed to do any more work on the exam.Missed or Late WorkIf a student is absent, all work due on the date of absence must be provided on eCourses per theassigned date for full credit.

Cell phones MUST be turned off during class time, no texting during class time.2.2. No earbuds allowed during class.2.3. Arrive to class on time and be prepared to discuss lesson.2.4. Always bring essential tools: Textbook, pencil, paper, scientific calculator (not cellphone).3. Business casual attire is encouraged, again preparing for the workplace.4. You are encouraged to work together on classroom exercises as collaboration and teamworkare important skills to learn. However, exams, quizzes, laboratory write-ups, andhomework assignments are strictly the individual’s responsibility and must be doneindependently. Recognized copying of work may result in a grade of zero for all partiesinvolved.5. Attend at least one day by the 10th class day or will be administratively dropped.Food and BeveragesOther than sealable bottles of water, food and beverage items are prohibited in the classroomand laboratory.Dress CodeEngineering Technology students are preparing for the professional world of work. Businesscasual attire is strongly encouraged to prepare students for company internships, co-operativeeducation work periods, or for visits by industry representatives to the classrooms or labs.However, certain minimum standards are required:1. Students are NOT allowed to wear caps/hats/hoods in class.2. Students must wear closed toe shoes in the laboratory. If you show up to lab in flip‐flops orany open‐toed footwear you will be asked to leave and you will be considered absent for thatlab.3.
