Grade Determination

 

          Tests                     40 %

          Quizzes                 10 %

          Final                      35 %

          Homework            15 %

 

Any tests missed will count as zero unless a written excuse is submitted before the test.  The make-up test will have to be taken at the earliest possible date.  Emergencies that arise will have to be documented by the appropriate authority.  Attendance is expected.  Quizzes will count as a record of attendance.  Thus, the penalty for unexcused absences is a lower grade.

 

Homework Assignments (Meyers & Chawla.):  Homework study groups are to be formed.  They will consist of at least three students and no more than five students.  Grades will be assigned to the group, i.e., everyone in the group will receive the same grade.   There will be unannounced quizzes given in class.
