Note that in ED 100-1, 9 hours of observation are required as
part of this course in order to meet state guidelines and help students connect
theoretical and practical knowledge. Failure to satisfactorily complete all
observation hours and related assignments will result in a grade of
"I" (incomplete) for the course, regardless of scores on other work.
Completion of observation hours is subject to the availability of appropriate
placements and may be at the discretion of the instructor. If
observation-related work is not completed satisfactorily in the prescribed time
outlined in the college catalog, the course grade will automatically become an
"F."
