Fall 2019 Course Syllabi

Assignments: Each chapter will have a graded assignment (quiz) that should be completed prior to tests. All assignments (quizzes) will have an individual score and at the end of the course will be worth part of the total grade. The chapter assignments allow for 3 attempts. This means that you can reattempt each chapter quiz up to 3 times. You will receive the score from your highest grade. There will be no time limit for assignment completion. Tests: Five tests on the chapters covered during the term will be given. Additionally, a Final Exam consisting of 20 random questions from previous assignments or tests will be given on week 8. Because of the eight-week schedule, this will amount to a test about every week. Tests will cover two to four chapters at a time and will be about 10 to 20 questions each. Scores on your tests will be combined with scores on your assignments to make up your total grade. Tests will allow only 1 attempt and you must complete the test once it has been started.
