Homeroom Instructors

Each student is assigned a homeroom instructor. This instructor is the person you will first contact to discuss any college-related problem. Interviews will occur from time to time or at your request to review your progress. Don’t hesitate to contact your homeroom instructor or any other staff member on any matter that might concern you. The homeroom instructor is responsible for your progress records.

Instructor Availability

Instructors are available for student consultation by appointment; students have the responsibility of making their own appointments. Students are not to use class time for these appointments.

Method of Instruction

The general method of teaching is a combination of lecture and tutorial. Practical demonstrations are given where feasible. Student discussion and questions are encouraged. Emphasis is placed on developing the students’ analytical capabilities by attacking various types of problems. Students are encouraged to learn how to learn; therefore, some material is left to the student to learn outside of class with research and reading assignments. In some advanced courses, students may be assigned topics for presentation to the class themselves. Although accuracy and correct solutions are important, learning how to solve a problem is more important than the actual answer in most cases, thus you should always show how you arrived at an answer, not just give an answer in assignments and tests.

Laboratory experiments are used to complement the classroom. Students perform essential tests, diagnosis, and repairs.

Departmental Notes

Assignments

Assignments are due on the date specified unless other arrangements have been made between instructor and student.

At-Risk Students

Evaluation of students will be on the basis of tests, laboratory work, assignments, and other activities. The instructor and/or department shall maintain a progress history of marks for each student. At appropriate intervals, the progress history of each student shall be reviewed and students deemed at risk of failing or showing poor performance will be identified. For these students, the department will provide an appropriate intervention. All interventions are documented using the Student Training Status Report form.

Evaluation of Work

All assignments, tests, lab write-ups, and other work will be assessed according to the course outlines given at the beginning of each course. The results will be returned to the student within a maximum of ten class days from the due date. Exceptions to this rule may be made for special cases. In those cases, the arrangements are to be given in writing to the class involved.

Calculators

Students will be responsible for having a calculator, both for work periods and for tests. Students will not share a calculator when writing tests. Staff calculators will not be loaned to students. Programmable or Graphic calculators are not permitted, only Scientific. It is the responsibility of the students to determine if their particular calculator is acceptable for tests. Instructors reserve the right to prohibit the use of calculators for part or all of their coursework.

Gymnasium

Students will not participate in sporting events in the gymnasium during class hours unless an instructor of the Information Technology Department is supervising the activity. The IT Department and its staff accept no responsibility for unauthorized gym activity.

Laboratories

Labs are to be used only with authorization or under the supervision of an instructor. Do not touch any apparatus or materials as they could be part of a laboratory project. Report any damaged equipment to the laboratory instructor.

Students usually work in teams. Generally, sufficient time is provided for every lab to be completed during school hours. Finished labs are due the following lab period or are to be submitted when specified by lab instructors in each course. Students are to be in their class and not in the lab during their specified class time.

Students are not to be in lab areas unless supervised by their own lab instructor. No student will be admitted in another instructor’s lab unless the instructor will supervise the area and be sure it is properly cleaned and secured afterwards.

Cell Phone Use

In accordance with college policy, cell phones, smartphones, and other communication devices must be turned off in class at all times unless an emergency exists which must be disclosed in advance to your instructor. Improper student conduct on this issue will result in the following responses:

a) First failure to comply will result in a verbal warning from the instructor and Student Training Status Report (STSR)

b) Second failure to comply will require a meeting with Department Head and a STSR.

c) Third failure to comply will result in suspension from class, a STSR and probation.

Textbooks

Students are totally responsible for any textbook or reference materials placed in their possession.

Lockers

Lockers are available in the corridors to students of the IT Department on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must supply their own locks. It is the responsibility of the students to keep the lockers in good shape.

Parking

Ample parking is available. Students are required to register their vehicle’s license plate number with our security office and display the NBCC student parking sticker in the windshield of vehicle.

Classroom Facilities for Home Study

In order to assist students who require a place to study in the evenings, classrooms are made available to students in the Information

Technology Department only.

The following will apply:

the last person leaving the area will close the windows and turn off the lights;

this area is provided for study; noise is to be kept to a minimum;

no access is allowed to laboratories unless provided by swipe card access;

unauthorized people are to be reported to security personnel on duty;

students using chalkboards/whiteboards are responsible to clean the boards before leaving the classroom; they must also make sure the room is left in a neat condition;

the provision of these facilities is dependent upon the cooperation of the students; abuse of this privilege will result in cancellation of after-hours use.

Assistance for Handicapped Students

Any students requiring assistance for handicap or medical conditions may request assistance from the Department Head or the Department Safety Officer. Assistance may include, but is not limited to: parking arrangements, elevator use, special chairs, and/or fire evacuation assistance.

Fire Regulations

Immediately upon the sounding of the fire alarm, all instruction and/or laboratory activity will cease; all equipment is to be shut down and all windows are to be closed.

The instructor will ensure that all students evacuate the room or training area immediately and direct them to the designated building exit. Students will proceed in an orderly fashion and remain as a group outside the building, away from fire lanes and fire officials. The instructor will arrange for special evacuation assistance for disabled students and will remain with the class until permission to return to the building has been given by authorized personnel.

Instructors not engaged in instruction, when the alarm sounds, will make sure the windows are closed and the equipment is turned off in the areas they are working in at the time. They will also ensure the evacuation of all students in those areas.

Class Exit Order

A3126, A3124, A3111, A3109 A3105, A3102, A3101, A3031, A3013, A3012

Use the stairwell closest to the class and exit out the front of the building towards Mountain Road.

Use the main stairwell by the elevator and exit out the front of the building towards Mountain Road.

Safety Regulations

Homeroom instructors shall review with the students the safety rules that apply within the Department.

Department lab instructors shall inform the students of safety regulations applicable within their lab area prior to starting the lab.

Lab instructors are to ensure that safety procedures are carried out.

Attire

Students are expected to wear clothing that is appropriate for the work environment for which they are training. For safety reasons, sandals are not permitted in the labs. Hats of any kind are not to be worn in classrooms or labs.

Classrooms

There are no rooms designated as homerooms. All rooms are shared by all classes. Please leave the room promptly after your class if you do not have the next class in the same room. Do not leave your books or valuables unattended in the classroom.

Chairs

Please treat the chairs with respect. They are meant for sitting on, and should be used as such. Please leave chairs in the room where you find them.
