Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the student to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student’s success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.
Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete all steps indicated on the Academic Withdrawal Request form by the course withdrawal deadline.

The lecture section accounts for 50% of the final grade, homework section accounts for 10% of the final grade, laboratory section (quizzes) accounts for 15%, and a comprehensive final exam will account for 25% of the overall grade.
Lecture Grade (50%): 5 lecture exams will be given throughout the course of the semester. The lecture exams will be multiple choice.
One lowest exam score will be dropped; therefore, THERE WILL NOT BE MAKE UP EXAMS. A missed exam becomes a zero.

Quizzes (15%) – There will be five quizzes given online throughout the course of the semester. There will be one lowest dropped quiz grade; therefore, MAKE-UP QUIZZES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. A missed quiz becomes a zero.
Homework (10%) – There will be homework assigned for each chapter. Homework will be due before each lecture exam for each chapter covered by the exam. There are eleven chapters to be covered. Each assignment will be valued at 5 points. Homework that does not conform to the expected format will lose a point or more. Late homework will lose a point. Additionally, there is a contact method homework assignment. One homework assignments will be dropped.
Final examination (25%): A comprehensive exam equal to one-fourth of the total grade for the semester. THE FINAL EXAM IS MANDATORY AND CANNOT BE DROPPED/MADE UP. IT WILL BE TAKEN as the other exams as assigned.
Extra credit: May be offered at the discretion of the instructor. If offered all students at their option will be allowed to participate. Final grade determination: Grades will not be curved under any circumstances.
