Grade Calculations
Course grades will be assigned based upon the following criteria:
Grades scored between
89.5% and 100% = A
79.5% and less than 89.5% = B
69.5% and less than 79.5% = C
59.5% and less than 69.5% = D
0% and less than 59.5% = F
Student evaluation is based upon the following assignments and assignment weights
Attendance - 5%
Coding Assignments - 40%
Quizzes - 35%
Final Project - 10%
Final Exam - 10%
Late Work Policy
Late work must be submitted no later than 5 days after the due date. All late work will receive a 20% grade penalty. For example, if on-time work would have earned a grade of 88, the 20% penalty will result in a reported grade of 70.4 [88 - (88 * 20%)]
Required Tutoring Policy
Any time a student's overall course grade drops below a 70, that student is required to attend a 1-hour mandatory tutoring session. This session can be scheduled directly with your instructor or with AC's Tutoring Center.
All Week 1 assignments must be completed by Tuesday, 1/24 @ 10am, in order to be considered PRESENT in the course. Failure to complete all assignments by this date may lead to an administrative drop from the course.
Check your email daily. The email address used by your instructor is the @amarillocollege.com email address issued to each AC student. Your instructor will communicate important course updates, guidance, and hints via email.
Complete assignments by the scheduled date/time. The more effort you put into keeping on top of the assignments, the more you will learn, the more you will enjoy the course, and the more likely the workload will not feel burdensome.
Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class period. If you arrive late, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have been counted as present--before you leave class that day. Excessive absence or lack of participation may result in failure of the course.
Students should plan on spending a minimum of 6-10 hours per week on this course--outside of the classroom. Actual amounts will vary depending on weekly assignments and topic complexity.
Your instructor, Lynne Kenney, may be contacted by email through the course in Blackboard. If Blackboard is not available, please email lkenney@actx.edu. You may also utilize the Remind app to reach out to your instructor.
Emails are typically answered within 24 hours. If you do not receive a response within that timeframe, please resend your message as a reminder.
