|
Example of grading calculation:
|
- Homework: will be assigned on the web site but not collected or graded. You need to do homework in order to perform well on quizzes or tests.
- Quizzes: will be given each class period. These quizzes cover fundamental skills that are needed to understand the material. If you are absent or late on the day of a quiz and do not have an official university excuse, you will receive a zero on the quiz.
Attendance Policy: The university attendance policy states that regular and punctual class attendance is essential and that no assigned work is excused because of absence, no matter what the cause. If you have no more than one unexcused absense, I will add an extra 3 points to your final class average.
