6 Reading Assignments and Homework To succeed in this course, you should prepare all presentations and do all assigned textbook readings and knowledge reviews prior to class and review class notes, handouts and knowledge reviews regularly. Late homework is not accepted. Students who must miss class on a due date can the assignment by the start of class for full credit. and Attendance Students earn points for each class they attend and participate in. Arriving late, leaving early, and cell phone, as well as any other disruption of class will result in loss of points. Unexcused absences will result in a loss of participation points; excused absences (i.e., those with acceptable documentation of an emergency) will not result in point loss. Please note that the instructor may withdraw a student from a course for excessive absences (see FKCC Policies below). For our purposes, excessive absences is defined as 3 or more unexcused absences. Regardless of excused absences, all performance requirements and written exams must be successfully completed to meet requirements for certification. Certification Information A grade is separate from a certification. Fees paid to FKCC guarantee access to training. These fees do not guarantee certification. Certification is given through separate certifying organizations with their own separate requirements (which this course provides the opportunity of meeting) and their own separate processing fees. At the end of the course, when all requirements have been met, each student will need to pay a $25.00 certification processing fee directly to Diver s Alert Network and a $100 processing fee to Emergency First Response in order for the organizations to process the desired certification(s). Students are expected to familiarize themselves with FKCC Policies, which can be found in the current Student Handbook at
