The Department of Technical and Adult Education and CGTC believe it is extremely important to identify, evaluate, and encourage good work habits as an integral part of the instructional program. Therefore, a system to evaluate “work ethics” in each credit course has been developed. Work ethics grades (3,2,1,0) are earned in each completed credit hour course and are included on the student’s permanent record and transcript. A list of work ethics characteristics is detailed below and may include:
