20% Exams:
There will be 3
exams, usually occurring on Thursdays. Quizzes:
There will be at least 5 quizzes, occurring on
Thursdays when there is no exam, and covering homework topics/questions.
The top 5 quizzes will be counted toward the grade.
If a student attends a minimum of 1 hour per week in the GMC (and logs
onto the computer to record that attendance) then the lowest of the 5 quizzes
will be dropped. Homework:
Homework will be collected each week during the last
class meeting of that week. Final: There will be a comprehensive final exam given on Thursday, March 22 at 8:00 AM. Attendance: If a
class is missed, it is the responsibility of the student to check what was
missed. If a student is to miss an
exam or a quiz, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the
instructor prior to the exam or quiz and make arrangements for taking the exam
or quiz. This does not mean that you call me 10 minutes before class time to
notify me of your pending absence. If
a student is ill, in an accident, or meets with other such unavoidable
situations, the student may make up the exam if proper documentation is
presented legitimizing the absence. (Such
documentation can be a doctor’s note on appropriate letterhead, police report
of an accident, etc.) Note:
Students who require specific accommodations for a disability should contact the
instructor early in the quarter (preferably at the first class meeting).
Please be polite and deactivate audio devices prior to entering class. Pagers and Cellular phones are distracting.
Please do not receive calls during class time. Tentative Assignments & Schedule: Section:
