GRADING BASIS Letter Percent A =>90 B =>80 C =>70 D =>60 F <60 ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION • Only two tests will be given throughout the semester, a midterm and a final; they will be comprehensive and given in an online format. o Failure to complete the final exam will result in an “F” for a final grade in the course. • The four quizzes will only cover current material, and will not be comprehensive. o Tests/quizzes must be completed by the due date, or a “0%” will be given. Arrangements must be made TWO DAYS prior to when the test/quiz is given in order to make up test/quiz beforehand. You will not be allowed to take the test after the due date – NO EXCEPTIONS. o Taking tests/quizzes with other classmates is unacceptable and considered cheating. If students’ test/quiz times overlap a “0%” will be given with no option to retake. • Four two-page papers and six online, lab-based assignments will be assigned throughout the semester. These are to be written double-spaced in Times New Roman font, 12 pt.
