\Grading Criteria
Assignment Percentages of Grade
- Lab Participation = 10% of final average
- Major Exams = 55% of final average (all exams are comprehensive)
- Final Exam = 35% of final average
Fisdap Maintenance:
A 1-point deduction from your FINAL average will be taken for each "late" Fisdap email I receive regardless of the class in which it occurred.
Furthermore, each student is required to sign-up for FISDAP lab schedules PRIOR to the announce deadline. If a student does not do so, the student may be advised to withdraw from the course or receive a grade of "F" for the course.
Remember: Fisdap requires a one-time fee of $80 to establish a student's account.
Grading Scale:
- A = 89.5% and up
- B = 79.5% - 89.4%
- C = 69.5% - 79.4%
- F = 69.4% and below
A student who will not complete a Major Exam on the scheduled day must contact the instructor before the scheduled exam. If the absence is excused, the test must be taken BEFORE the next class session. A grade of ZERO for that exam will be averaged in if this policy is not followed.
There will be no make-up for missed quiz grades. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Additional Information
- AC online is the fastest/easiest way to communicate with a large group of people. Each student should become familiar with how to log-on and use the AC Online web portal found at http://actx.angellearning.com. Grades and important class information will be posted, along with campus announcements, events, and email
- Also, students are not automatically dropped from their class roster as a result of nonattendance. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to officially drop or withdraw from a course through the registrar's office. Failure to officially withdraw may result in the student receiving a grade of "F" in the course.
NOTE: The Texas Education Code stipulates that students attending Texas institutions of higher education for the first time fall 2007 and later may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career, including courses from which transfer students have withdrawn at other Texas institutions of higher education. (Senate Bill 1231) Rule §4.10.
