Grading Criteria

GRADING DISTRIBUTION

\

The course grade will be computed as follows:

\

Average of Unit Examinations = 50%

\

Average of quizzes and homework = 30%

\

Comprehensive Final  Examination = 20 %

\

 

\

The following grade scale applies throughout this course:

\

A = 92 – 100

\

B = 83 – 91

\

C = 75 – 82

\

F = less than a 74.5

This course consists of quizzes, assignments and major exams. There are forty quizzes in this course, they are short and multiple choice. I will take the top thirty grades. Quizzes may only be taken one time, but it is very conceivable that you could take all the quizzes for one chapter in one day. Quizzes will be open as long as each chapter is open.

\

Major exams over each chapter will be open for 3 days. They will open at 5 am and close at 11:55 pm on the third day. All will be posted on the calendar well in advance. There will be not make up work allowed on major exams.

Attendance

To be successful in this course you should expect to log in no less than twice weekly.
