Work Ethics Grades
One of Ogeechee Technical College’s core values is work ethics. OTC instructs and evaluates students on work ethics in all programs of study. Ten work ethics traits are defined as essential for student success. The ten traits are appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect and teamwork. The definitions for these traits have been integrated into the standards for each program offered at OTC. In a designated introductory course in each program, instructors define and list the work ethics traits and require completion of an online Blackboard module on work ethics. A work ethics grade will be given in each of the designated introductory courses. Program capstone course instructors will employ student evaluation methods that measure all work ethics traits. These methods will be documented and communicated to the enrolled students. Instructors will provide feedback to students with clear directions for remedial action prior to the final evaluation. A separate grade for work ethics in the capstone course will appear on students’ transcripts.
