Grading Policy |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Attendance |
Students who miss class are
responsible for obtaining copies of notes and other materials from
another
student. It is up to the individual
student to get contact information from fellow students in order to
obtain
missed notes and handouts. Notes and
handouts may not be obtained from the teacher. For every
absence from class, you will lose 5
points from your Attendance Grade. No
exceptions. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Punctuality |
Students are expected to be in class and seated at the start of the class period. If you have to leave early, you must notify me prior to the beginning of that day’s class. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Make-up Exams |
Make-Up Exams will not be given. However, extra credit will be provided throughout the semester through miscellaneous class assignments. These class assignments will be based on your textbook and assigned readings and will be conducted throughout the semester in class. These assignments may entail worksheets, debates, or any activities that the teacher deems appropriate. By the end of the semester, we will have completed 100 points in miscellaneous assignments. These points can be used to replace either a low test grade or a missing test grade. These points may not be applied to any other grade.If you miss a class period when a miscellaneous class assignment is given, it cannot be made up. No exceptions. If you wish any other extra credit, you must approach me with your request. My decision to allow extra credit will be decided on a case by case basis. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dishonesty and Plagiarism |
Dishonesty and plagiarism will not be tolerated. At the first instance of either violation, the offending student will fail the assignment. At the second instance of either violation, the offending student will receive a failing grade for the class. If you have any doubts or concerns as to what constitutes plagiarism, it will be your responsibility to see me for further clarification. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Electronic Devices |
Students may not electronically record lectures or other presentations. Beepers, cell phones and pagers MUST be turned off during class. You must inform me of any emergency situation which may warrant the carrying of beepers, cell phones or pagers. The use of cell phones or pagers within the classroom is very disruptive and will be considered a disruption if it occurs. Accidents do happen but repeated violations of this policy will be dealt with appropriately. You will NOT be allowed to use a computer in class to take notes. The only time that a computer may be used is when you are given time to work on your group projects in class. |
