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 this class.

CELL PHONE POLICY - Please put cell phones out of sight and on mute during all class times. Cell Phone (texting, gaming, using, calling, taking photos or recording of any kind is prohibited in all classes). Using Cell Phones during class times is distracting to other paying students. If there are repeated violations you will be dismissed from class for that day and counted as absent.

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. If you are late to class, you will be counted tardy unless you have 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.
