A+ PRACTICAL APPLICATION
PROPOSED SCHEDULE
This course uses the TestOut LabSim package for PC Pro. It contains all of your quizzes and lab
assignments. Your grade is determined based on your performance on these assignments.
You may work the class at your own pace. However, you must complete the class by the end of the
term. Custom exams have due dates. Be sure to track these on TestOut. Once a due date is passed, the
exams cannot be rescheduled. The Final Exam will be available during Finals Week.
Keep in mind that TestOut tracks your performance as well as your participation in minutes.
Important: TestOut follows a non-linear schedule. That is, topics are NOT covered
from beginning to end but skips around. When you complete both A+ classes, you will
cover all of the available material.
There is a lot of material in this class. Use the following schedule as a guide to where you should be by
week. This schedule follows the Objective Guide which is found in the Syllabus section of BlackBoard.
Sections in brackets [ ] are duplicate and do not need to be repeated. Sections completed in previous
classes AND on the same account do not need to be repeated.
Grade assignment is the college standard A = 90%, B = 80%, C = 70%, D = 60%, F = 59+ and below.
Your grade is based upon your performance in this class. However, you do have the option to sit for the
CompTIA A+ Essentials and CompTIA A+ Practical Application certifications. If, during the course of this
class, you earn the CompTIA A+ Practical Application
, you will earn an automatic A. Evidence of passage MUST be provided to the instructor for grade.
Students who hold an active A+ certification are eligible for a WAIVER of this class. Please see the
instructor for more information.
If you choose to sit for the CompTIA A+ certification, you are responsible for your own testing and fees.
