Grading Scale
90 - 100=A 80 - 89=B 70 - 79=C 60 - 69=D Below 59 = F
Determination of Final Grade
There will be chapter exams, a comprehensive final exam, a combined lab quiz and homework grade. Home work must be completed when due. All late homework not turned in on time will be counted as a zero. It is your responsibility to keep up with your assignments and homework. The course grade will be based on the following percentages: , Homework 30%, Chapter Tests 30%, and Final 40%. Failure to take the Final Exam will result in an automatic F for the class.
Instructor Policies
CELL PHONE POLICY - Please put cell phones out of sight and on mute during all class times. Using cell phones during class times is distracting to other students, if you must take a call or make a call, please go into hallway to do so. If there are repeated violations you will be dismissed from class for that day and counted as absent.
Attendance Policy
As class attendance is crucial to making a passing grade, after 5, 7, & 9 class periods have been missed a letter grade will be dropped after each and after 11 missed class days a Failure will be recorded for the overall grade. After 6 minutes into each class period you will be counted tardy, unless there is a recognized excuse. Sleeping in class will be discussed after class with me. Class absences can also have recognized excuses, with each being handled on a one on one basis with the instructor.
