Your semester grade (90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, below 60 F) will be calculated using the following weights:
| Weight | Category |
| 15% | HW Average (drop 2 lowest grades) |
| 15% | Written Lab Assignments (drop lowest 1 grade) |
| 50% | Exams |
| 20% | Final Exam |
Four major exams will be given this semester in addition to a comprehensive final exam. If the final exam is higher than the lowest major exam, the final exam grade will replace it. The final exam may replace at most one major exam. Otherwise, all major exam grades will be counted in the final average. Major exams will be taken in class or in the Math Testing Center and kept on file in the instructor's office. The final exam is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 20.
Daily attendance is necessary in both lecture and lab to be successful in this course. You should be on time for class, prepared for class, and actively participate and be on task in class daily. It is the responsibility of the student to sign the attendance sheet daily. Nonattendance will be recorded as an absence, and no differentiation will be made as to excused or unexcused absences. Note that the last day to drop is May 12. Students now have to go through the instructor to drop a course. The deadline for letting me know you want to drop is 5:00pm May 11. Students who stop attending class and do not officially drop will receive a grade of F if their average falls below a 60.

Homework is going to be assigned at the end of each class. It will be work from the textbook. The due date for each assignment will be announced in class, and a running list of assigned homework and due dates will be uploaded to Blackboard. Homework is entirely completion based because the point of homework is to learn the material. All homework assignments will have solutions uploaded to Blackboard as well. Because the homework grade is based on completion, no homework assignments will be dropped. Homework is to be turned in to the corresponding Dropbox in Blackboard in PDF format. I will assign grades through Blackboard.
LAB ASSIGNMENTS
Labs will consist of completing written lab assignments and occasionally computer assignments using Excel covering the concepts we have discussed in lecture. Each lab assignment will be posted in Blackboard for the student to print and/or view. Completion of the homework on the assignment is optional, though preferred. Students will usually be allowed to work together (as much as is allowed during the COVID-19 response). All lab assignments will be neatly completed, submitted to the proper Dropbox in Blackboard in PDF format, and graded by the instructor. The grade will be based entirely on correctness. Assignment deadlines will be announced as material is covered. I do not accept late lab assignments.
LATE WORK / EXTRA CREDIT
Late work is NOT accepted and extra credit is NOT given under any circumstance. Due dates will be announced in class so be sure you are in class to keep up with your work.
