Expected Student Behavior

\
\ http://sites.actx.edu/catalog/notices/

\ Cheating is defined in Webster’s College Dictionary as “taking an examination in a dishonest way, as by having improper access to answers.” Improper access includes, but is not limited to, copying from another student’s paper and using unauthorized sources of information while taking a test. Any student caught cheating on a test will receive a grade of zero with no chance of the final replacing the grade.
\
\ The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board sets the topics that must be covered in order to receive credit for a course. The instructor sets the pace to ensure that these requirements are met. Any student having trouble maintaining the pace should seek extra help from the instructor and/or a tutor.
\
\ Students who fail to comply with the standards outlined in the syllabus and/or Student Rights & Responsibilities will be subject to disciplinary action.

Grading Criteria

GRADING CRITERIA/GRADE SCALE:
The final grades of A (90 – 100), B (80 – 89), C (70 – 79), D (60 – 69), and F (below 60) will be computed as the average of the earned grades from:

Homework and Quizzes 10%, Chapter Tests 70%, Final Exam 20%.

Tentatively, five (5) tests and a comprehensive final will be given during the semester.  Tests will be taken in the math lab.

Make-up tests will not be given. If a test is missed, the grade will be replaced with the score you make on the final exam. (If you do not miss any chapter tests during the semester, I will replace your lowest chapter test grade with the grade you make on the final exam, provided the grade on the final is higher than the lowest chapter test grade.) 

Homework will be assigned and graded. Quizzes will take place on a regular frequent basis.

I do not give extra credit work.
