Here's the text: The Firefighter Agility & Fitness course (FIRS 1203) at Houston Community College has the following key components and requirements:

**Course Objectives:**

*   The primary objective is for students to demonstrate competencies in subjects taught as set forth in the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) curriculum for Basic Fire Suppression.

**Student Learning Outcomes:**

*   Demonstrate competencies for subjects taught, set forth in the TCFP curriculum for Basic Fire Suppression.
*   Exhibit foundational skills including basic reading, writing, mathematics, listening, and speaking.
*   Develop thinking skills such as decision-making, creative thinking, problem-solving, visualization, learning how to learn, and reasoning.
*   Cultivate personal qualities like self-esteem, social skills, self-management, integrity, honesty, and responsibility.
*   Acquire workplace competencies in resource allocation (time, money, material, facility, human resources), interpersonal skills (teamwork, teaching, customer service, leadership, negotiation, cultural diversity), information handling (acquisition, evaluation, computer processing), systems understanding, and technology (selection, application, maintenance, troubleshooting).

**Grading Criteria:**

*   The course follows the HCC Grading Scale:
    | Grade | Percentage |
    | ----- | ---------- |
    | A     | 100 - 90   |
    | B     | 89 - 80    |
    | C     | 79 - 70    |
    | D     | 69 - 60    |
    | F     | 59 and below |
    | FX    | Failure due to non-attendance |
    | IP    | In Progress |
    | W     | Withdrawn   |
    | I     | Incomplete   |
    | AUD   | Audit       |

**Policies:**

*   **Attendance:**  Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw by the deadline may be dropped for excessive absences or receive an "FX" grade, equivalent to an "F" for GPA purposes.  Non-attendance affects financial aid.
*   **Grading:**  Standard HCC grading policies apply.  See the syllabus for details.
*   **Academic Progress:**  "FX" grades have the same impact as "F" grades on GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory academic progress.

**Alignment with TCFP Curriculum:**

*   The course is designed to satisfy a portion of the TCFP curriculum for Basic Structural Fire Suppression (Course #100).
*   It must be taken in conjunction with Firefighter Certification courses I, II, III, IV, V, and VII to fulfill all TCFP requirements.

The course's emphasis on TCFP competencies, foundational skills, and practical skills directly aligns with the requirements for Basic Structural Fire Suppression certification in Texas.
