Homework: Homework, as specified by our syllabus, will be assigned
nightly. Homework will be collected on the test days designated by our course
calendar. It will be graded while the test is being administered and returned
at the end of class. If for any reason you must be absent on a test day, it is
YOUR responsibility to see to it that I receive your homework before or during
that testing hour. Late homework will not be accepted for any reason. Your
lowest homework grade will be dropped.
Tests: There will be five (5) tests. Tests will be administered on the days
designated by our course calendar. After tests are graded and handed back,
students will be able to recapture 1/3 of their lost points by returning their
corrected tests on the day of the next test. Corrections must be made in
red. Your lowest test grade will be dropped. The point of this policy is to
recognize the fact that students are sometimes ill and/or need to take care of
family emergencies. No make-ups will be offered for any reason. Students who can anticipate an absence on a
test day may arrange to take a test earlier
than everyone else, but never later.
Final Exam: The final exam will be multiple choice and
comprehensive. Ours will be held Monday, May 8, 3-5pm. Your final exam may also be
used to replace your second lowest test score.
Grades: Your final grade will be computed as follows:
|

70% |

Exam |
30% |
Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D.
If your homework average is higher than 70%
AND your final average is 59, 69, 79, or 89, then you will receive the next
highest letter grade.
