Homework Assignments:
These are graded assignments that can be done multiple times.
Only the highest score will be used. These assignments close at 11:59 PM, Central Daylight
Time on the night before the corresponding chapter test. Do the work well in advance. If the
assignment is done after the posted due date, 30% will be deducted from your score.
Tests:
Six graded tests are administered over the semester. Students are allowed one
attempt on each test and must be completed in one sitting. If a student leaves the classroom
during a test, the test will be collected and graded. Tests must be taken on the day they are
given or previous arrangements must be made prior to the test day.
If you miss an exam
you must contact me within 24 hours of the missed exam to arrange for a time to make
up the exam. Exams must be made up within 72 hours of the original exam time. If you
do not contact me within 24 hours, a grade of 0 will be entered for the exam that was
missed. Students are only allowed to make up ONE exam per course. The exam grade
will be docked 10% per day for late points.
Cheating on tests will not be tolerated.
If
you are caught cheating, that will result in an automatic 0 for the exam.
A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
Classroom Policies:
•
Respect is to be shown towards the instructor and fellow students in the classroom.

Electronic Devices:
Silence cellular phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices
in the classroom and laboratory facilities. If this is an IVN course, cell phone must be turned off
at all times in class! I will not tolerate texting, playing games, watching videos or anything else
that is disruptive to the class and others around you. You will be asked once to put the phone
away, if asked again you will be asked to leave. (If you are expecting an important phone call,
please inform me before class.)
