Course Requirements:
Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a grade based upon the
percent of total points possible. Drop quizzes may not be made up. There is a one week grace
period to make up any missed exams or assignments. Any missed exam/work not made up
within the allotted time will be given a zero. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule
makeup work during a date and time mutually convenient for the student and the instructor.
Final letter grades are assigned based on the following criteria:
A 89.5 100% of the total points
B 79.5 <89.5% of the total points
C 69.5 <79.5% of the total points
D 59.5 69.5% of the total points
F <59.5% of the total points
