More information on grades
It is your responsibility to keep all graded papers. If there is any discrepancy
between the grade you have calculated and the one that is assigned, it is your responsibility
to prove what grade you have earned based on the graded papers you have in your possession.
As the teacher, I have the ability to change grades and I have done so. I will not,
however, change your grade without reviewing your papers. Nor will I review your
grade with you during the semester to simply inform you as to what your grade is.
I will be glad to talk with you about difficulties you are having and ways that might
improve the effectiveness of your study time.
Working Toward a Good Grade
A good grade in this class requires two simple things. 1) regular attendance in
class. 2) regular study habits. You should be studying at least two hours for every
hour of class time.
Excused Absences
Missing class may result in a reduction of your grade. Excused absences will
be given if I receive a brief letter from you explaining why and when (include the
dates in your letter) the absences occurred. This letter must be given to me within
one week of the classes missed. I will make notes in the grade book and give the
letter back to you with my okay and signature on it. Keep it along with graded papers
until you receive and agree with your final grade. Missed quizzes are made up at
the end of the semester. It is your responsibility to do so during the final exam
period.
Exam Policy
All exams, except the final, are given in the Testing Center. It is your responsibility
to know the testing schedule and to take the exams during the scheduled time. If
you cannot take the exam on the scheduled day, see me to arrange another test date.
If an exam is missed because the testing center is busy, the exam may not be taken
late. A comprehensive makeup exam at the end of the semester may replace the lowest
exam score (even if it is lower).
Study Groups
Early in the semester the class will be divided into study groups. I encourage
you to truly study together as a group. The study groups will also work together
on group assignments and dissections. This will be explained as the semester progresses.
Honesty Policy
Cheating will not be tolerated. The following apply during quizzes and exams:
1) Talking is not acceptable unless you need to ask a question of the teacher to clarify
a question on the quiz or exam. 2) Answer sheets are to be kept reasonably covered.
3) No list of terms or other study papers may be present in your pockets (stuffed
up sleeves or in socks, etc.). 4) No terms or study information may be write on
any portion of your body surface. 5) You may not study in the old business building
on the days of a test. 6) No cell phones are permitted in the Testing Center (TC).
(If you take your cell phone into the TC, turn it off and put in the bag provided.
If you do not and it rings or you get it out, your test will be taken away and a report
will be made to me. Do not come to see me about it. There is nothing I can do.)
Violation of any of these rules may result in your dismissal from the class. This
dismissal is calculated as an “F” on your transcript. You may repeat the class at
a later date.
First Homework Assignments
