Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

Grades are based on weekly assignments, classroom presentations, quizzes, and exams. This class meets once each week. Due to our limited time attendance is vital. If you miss 2 classes you will lose a letter grade; miss 3 classes and you will lose two letter grades; miss 4 or more classes and you will fail the class. You cannot make up missed assignments or presentations unless the absence was excused (must be approved by instructor prior to class). A= 90-100% B= 80-89% C= 70-70% D= 60-69% F= Less than 60% Final grades are based on the percentages above. The Expectation is that all assignments will be turned in on the appropriate due date. If an assignment would need to be turned in late please make prior arrangements with me.
