A variety of assignments will be given to enhance your development of skills necessary for the 

office place. Assignments are due when specified; late assignments affect the grading process. 

♦ Professionals-in-Training are expected to turn in all assignments by the first scheduled class 

session following date they are assigned. All late assignments will be credited up to 90% of the 

total points available if turned in within one day of the assignment date. Assignments two days 

late will be credited up to 80% and up to 70% if three days late. Any assignment turned in 

more than three days late will be eligible to receive up to 60% of the points available. Late 

assignments will not be accepted for credit after the end of week five.

Professional Conduct points. The Professional-in-Training present for all 5 hours of training time is 

eligible to receive up to 5 Professional Conduct points for the day (1 point per hour). A Professionalin-Training 

who misses time due to illness, jury duty, family emergency, etc. is responsible for 

completing any assignments missed within 10 days of the absence. Should absences become 

excessive, the trainer and Professional-in-Training must develop an effective action plan to try to 

prevent further absences? Good work and study habits will solidly contribute in your preparation 

toward your career goals.

hygiene. Professionals-in-Training are expected to develop and maintain a professional attitude and 

conduct themselves as if they were in a business environment. Use of profanity, noisy or boisterous 

conduct, sleeping in class, gambling, dishonesty, or refusal to submit to authority will not be tolerated 

and may result in disruption of your learning experience. 

The attached criteria are the basis for determining your professional conduct grade. In our continuing 

effort to do everything possible to train you for employment, we emphasize these skills to better 

prepare you for your improvement in these vital skills will be a paramount concern. Your final 

evaluation in this area will be determined at the end of the grading period. Cell phones are to be turned
