Methods of Evaluation of Competencies:

Evaluation of student mastery of course competencies will be accomplished using the following methods:

Theory Test – There will be 15 major tests worth 100 points each.
These tests will ordinarily cover both readings and class material. There
will also be one People Skills test. Total possible points – 1600.

Participation – Ten practical points are given daily for class
participation and application techniques. Class participation is
essential. If students are absent, they will not receive these points.
These points cannot be made up. Total possible points – 800.

Professional Presentation, Interpersonal Relations and Sanitation –
There will be 50 points given weekly on professionalism and sanitation.
(Refer to Professional Characteristics for Cosmetology in Training
Program.) If students are absent, they will not receive these points.
These points are based on behavior while in the classroom and on the
clinic floor. Total possible points – 800.

Makeup Test – Tests will be made up by the student immediately upon
return to class. Students will not be able to attend class or other
activities until they have completed the missed tests. It is the
student’s responsibility to contact the instructor to take tests; the
instructor(s) will not be responsible for reminding. If a student does not
take a given test, a zero may be recorded in the instructor’s grade
book.

Quizzes, In-Class Activities – Unannounced quizzes and other short
assignments will be given. These assignments are due the same day they are
assigned and may not be made up. These assignments may be worth 10-100
points each.

Job and Family – It is the instructor’s duty to inform the student at
every opportunity that this class is “more important” than a job.
Likewise, family responsibilities do not constitute valid reasons for
missing class or falling behind in class work.
