Spring 2019 Course Syllabi

Chapter Tests (50%): A test will be given at the completion of each chapter. Students are allowed one attempt on each test and must be completed in one sitting. Tests must be taken on the day they are given or previous arrangements must be made prior to the test day. Tests will NOT be allowed to be taken in the CAVE, unless the student has documentation to do so. 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. MAKE UP TEST WILL ONLY BE TAKEN WITH MS. PUHR. 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. The exam grade will be docked 10% per day for late points. Make-up tests may be more difficult than the one given for the regular scheduled test. Final Exam (20%): The final exam is comprehensive. Anyone who misses the final will receive a 0 on the exam and a grade of F for the course. No make-up final will be given. A student will be exempt from the final exam if he/she has met the following criteria:  Homework grade of 90%  Grade average of 70% or higher  No unexcused absences 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/Expectations: • Respect is to be shown towards the instructor and fellow students in the classroom. • Attendance and participation is expected.
