The grading scale for this course is:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 75 - 79
F = score less than 74.5
Your grade will be determined by two categories of work – the class preparation assignments (CPAs); and the four exams worth 400 points and the final exam worth 100 points. To earn a particular course grade, you must meet or exceed the standards for each category of work separately.
Grade CPAs Exams/Quizzes
A Credit for 18 or more of 20 CPAs 90% of total 500 points: 448-500 points
B Credit for 16-17 of 20 CPAs 80% of total 500 points: 398-447 points
C Credit for 15 of the 20 CPAs 75% of total 500 points: 373-397 points
F Credit for less than 14 of the 20 CPAs 74.4% of total 500 points: less than 372 points
If a student earns 90% or above on the exams/quizzes, but earns credit for only 15 CPAs, the student will receive a C for the course grade, because the C is the highest level at which the student meets or exceeds the standards for both categories of work. The definition of an A student is one who not only does A work on exams, but also who is prepared for class at least 90% of the time. Likewise, if a student earns credit for 18 CPAs, but earns 76% on the exams/quizzes, the student receives a C for the course grade. Class preparation alone is not enough to ensure a specific grade for a student; the student must also perform well on the exams/quizzes. You must meet the standards in BOTH categories separately; the two categories of work ARE NOT added together.
If a student is absent for a regularly scheduled examination, the student may take a makeup examination but the highest grade a student can earn is 75%. All material given in this course will be tested during the four major examinations.
Keep in mind that grades are not given. Grades are EARNED based on student performance. Often the instructor plays no role in the grading process other than recording. Please be careful to note the requirements for earning the grade you desire and act accordingly throughout the semester.
A student who plans to pass this course should also plan to regularly attend all lecture sessions. Students chronically late for class or those with excessive absences may be at risk for passing this course. Each student with a tardy/attendance problem will be addressed on an individual basis with the instructor.
I want you to be successful and your attendance is critical to your success. In order to be fair, there is no distinction between an excused and an unexcused absence.
If a student is absent for a regularly scheduled examination, the student may take a makeup examination but the highest grade a student can earn is 75%. All material given in this course will be tested during the four major examinations.
Once again, grades are not given. Grades are EARNED based on student performance. Your attendance is directly related to your success.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A student, who develops a problem with a course policy or the course instructor, should first try to resolve the problem with the instructor of record, then the program director. If the problem cannot be resolved at this level, the student should go to the Dean of Health Sciences, the VP of Academic Affairs and the college President, in that order.
REMEDIATION POLICY
The instructor will meet with students who perform poorly on exams. Both parties will develop a plan to gain a better understanding of the information covered on the exam. This remediation will be completed before the student can take the next scheduled exam in the course and will be scheduled outside of regular class time. The plan will include, but will not be limited to:
1. Students earning less than 75% on an exam will be required to see a tutor either in the West Campus Tutoring Center or with the SSS tutor representative before the next exam can be taken.
2. If a student does not understand the concepts or topics after the tutorial session, please email the instructor to schedule a discussion of topics with the instructor.
3. If a student fails a second test during the semester, steps 1 and 2 above will need to be followed and the student must turn in hand-written chapter objectives and defined key terms from the chapter(s) before the next major exam.
