HCC
Grading Scale: |
FINAL GRADE OF FX: Students who stop attending class
and do not withdraw themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline may either be
dropped by their professor for excessive absences or be assigned the final
grade of "FX" at the end of the semester. Students who stop
attending classes will receive a grade of "FX", compared to an
earned grade of "F" which is due to poor performance. Logging into
a DE course without active participation is seen as non-attending. Please
note that HCC will not disperse financial aid funding for students who have
never attended class. Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class
will be reported to the Department of Education and may have to pay back
their aid. A grade of "FX" is treated exactly the same as a grade
of "F" in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory
academic progress. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total
grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades
"IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA. Health Sciences Programs Grading
Scales may differ from the approved HCC Grading Scale. For Health Sciences
Programs Grading Scales, see the "Program Discipline Requirements"
section of the Program's syllabi. |

Grading Criteria |
Students will

two Quizzes held, within a time limit. Each quiz consists of 30 questions to
be answered in 45 minutes. Assignments Over the
duration of the course, students will study Infosys, a global company, and
apply the theories learned to study the organizational infrastructure of the
company. At the completion of the course, students will be graded on their
ability to present the organizational structure and business processes and
compare with a competitive organization and present it. Throughout the course
there will be three Phases in which the students present the progress of
their understanding and application of theory with a practical global
organizational study in comparison with another organization. Guidelines will
be provided separately. Mid-term

METHODS BUSG
1301 is a required course for certain Business Administration
certificates and AAS degrees. As an
instructor, I want my students to be successful. I feel that it is my
responsibility to provide students with knowledge concerning business,
modeling good teaching strategies, team work and organizing and monitoring
the field experience that allows students to connect the information that
students learn in this course to the real world of education. As a student
wanting to learn about business, it is student’s responsibility to read
the textbook, research, coordinate with team members, submit the assignments
on the due dates, study for the exams, participate in activities, and attend
class. |

EGLS3
-- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System |
At Houston
Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is
necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time near the
end of the term, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of
research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the
survey will be made available to your professors and department chairs for
continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the
Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. |
