As DeKalb Tech students interact in the classroom or lab, the instructor monitors and documents their behaviors using the Work Ethics Trait Behavior Documentation Form. A mid-quarter report provides every student feedback about their work ethic performance. Students are issued a work ethics grade each quarter for all courses attempted, and it holds equal importance for grades earned via technical skills.
