| NOTE: |
Grades on homework assignments/labs/tests/final will range from 0-100.
However, the final class grade will be scaled to fit the above grading policy (1 homework point IS NOT EQUAL TO 1 test point) |
Late Assignments:
Unless a documented and legitimate reason is provided, all assignments turned in late will automatically have 20% of the total possible points deducted for EACH class period that has elapsed since the due date. As an example, a 100-point assignment that was due on Monday but turned in on Wednesday will be graded as normal and then 20 additional points will be deducted for being late. All assignments are due at the BEGINNING of the class period, I do not want to see students working on homework during the class period.
Students who do not turn in labs or participate in the laboratory WILL NOT pass this class. You must attend and turn-in at least 80% of all laboratories to avoid receiving a failing grade.
Makeup Examinations:
There will be no makeup examinations, a missed examination will result in 0% unless a valid and documented excuse is presented. If possible, students should provide such documentation before the examination date. In any event, notification must be provided within 2 class periods following the missed examination. In the case of a legitimate excuse for missing an examination, an alternative for making up this portion of total grade will be provided to the student.
Student Expectations:
Please do not:
1. Read newspapers or other material during the class while teaching and learning are occurring.
This is rude to your classmates and to the instructor.
2. Do homework or other class assignments during the class while teaching and learning is
occurring.
3. Have cell phones (or pagers) turned on and receive calls during class - TURN THEM OFF
4. Engage in web surfing or instant messaging during the class while teaching and learning are
occurring.
5. Bring people to class who are not officially enrolled. Any exception to this rule must
be OKed by the instructor at least 24 hours prior to the next class period.
6. Carry on conversations either verbally, electronically, or via passing notes during the class.
This is distracting to other students and the instructor.
7. Request that the final exam be administered to you at a time other than the officially scheduled
time. Only in very rare circumstances will I allow a student to take the final exam at a alternative
time.
8. Eat a meal during the class.
