Testing Procedure
Exams will be administered using Respondus Lockdown Browser to ensure exam integrity.
During the testing period, the student may take a break, however, no additional time will be allowed for the test. Only one student at a time may leave the testing room. After completion of a major exam, the student will not be allowed to wait for the next class in the laboratory or hallway. The student must either sit quietly in their seat until all students are finished or exit the building.
Calculators will be enabled through Respondus.
If an exam is taken at home using Respondus Lockdown Browser, cameras must be used. If a camera is not availble on the device, the exam must be taken at the college with a proctor.
The Program has 1 "loaner" computer for testing. If your laptop fails to log in, the loaner will be available on a first-come, first serve basis. If the loaners is not available, the test will have to be taken late, with the make-up penalty applied.
The exams will not be reviewed. If the student desires to review test content for further study, an appointment must be made with the instructor.
Make-up policy
The opportunity to make-up missed tests and turn in assignments will be decided on an individual basis by the instructor. The exam must be taken within 1 week and the maximum grade that can be earned is 75%. Makeup exams may be different from the exam given on the scheduled day. There will be no make-up offered for the final exam or quizzes. Homework assignments will not be accepted late.
Grading
Graded quizzes, worth 10 points each, will occur on Tuesdays (except on exam days). One quiz grade will be dropped.
An NBRC Question competition will occur on Thursdays. At the end of the semester, the winner will receive the prize of having an additional quiz grade dropped.
Additional assignments may also be given and points may be earned by the student for completion of the assignment. Total possible course points may change as assignments are added throughout the semester.
Each examination/quiz/assignment will have a specific number of points awarded for correct answers. The number of points earned by a student will be divided by the maximum possible points. The result will be expressed as a percent and converted to a grade.
The only extra credit offered in this course will be extra credit questions on the major exams.
Nothing in this course will be curved.
Rounding of scores will take place as follows: 0.5 will round up to the next highest whole number, ex. 74.5 = 75.0. 74.4 will NOT round up.
At least 10% of the questions on major exams will come from the reading assignments.
At the end of the course, the final grade will be computed using the schema listed below.
Grades will be posted in Blackboard.
The grading schema for this course is:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 75-79
F = less than 75
Remediation Policy
The instructor will meet with students who do not pass exams. Both parties will develop a plan to gain better understanding of the information covered on the test. The plan may include but not be limited to:
Mandatory remediation sessions exams may be a group event at a date/time set by the instructor. Failure to arrive on time and complete the remediation at the set date/time will result in negative (-10) points for that exam.
Mandatory tutoring in the West Campus Student Success Center (WCB Building) will be required when a test is failed. The student will obtain a “prescription” for tutoring from the instructor and return proof of the tutoring session to the instructor when tutoring is complete. The student must complete the prescribed tutoring to be eligible to take the next exam.
Any time a class is missed, it is the student's responsibility to obtain notes from classmates. The instructor will be happy to discuss any information from the class, but the instructor's lecture notes are not available for copying.

To minimize absences and lecture class disruptions, student may earn points that will affect the final course grade. Every time the student earns four (4) points, the final course grade will be dropped one (1) letter grade. Points are earned as follows: **The student is "Late" to class if the student is not is their seat when class begins. |
In the event of virtual classes or quarantining due to Covid-19, all rules of attendance will apply. It will be counted as an absence if the student does not log on, does not activate the camera and/or is not dressed and sitting at a desk/table. If the student logs on after the class as started, the student is "late". Proof fo illness due to Covid-19 may be required.
A student who plans to succeed in this course should also plan to regularly attend all lecture sessions. Cases of excessive tardiness and absence will be handled on an individual basis and will require a counseling session. Following this session, a departmental counseling form will be placed in your file. The purpose of this form is to document that the student has been made aware that excessive absences are jeopardizing successful completion of this course.
