Spring 2019 Course Syllabi

4 | P a g e ASSESSMENT PORTFOLIO Each degree seeking student is required to maintain an assessment portfolio on Blackboard for his/her time at Williston State College. For this class you should include your syllabus, evidence of completing learning outcomes, and a reflection paper of what you learned in this class. GRADING POLICY Assignments will be given frequently. These assignments will come in a variety of forms, including problem sets, in-class activities, and a semester-long project. This project will be grouped into four parts and will be worth 100 points total. There will be three exams covering the material that we go over in class. Exams will be worth 100 points each. Assignments will vary in size, but should end up totaling about 190 points. Late Assignments: In-class assignments may or may not be made up depending on your communication with me. If you have notified me before the class meeting that you will not be present, you will be allowed to complete a related assignment. Out-of-class assignments will incur a mandatory 20% deduction if they are not completed at the start of class on the due date. Even if you are unable to attend class on the due date, the assignment is still due at the start of class. An additional 10% deduction will be applied per class session that assignments are late. The deduction is capped at 50%. In other words, you may submit any assignment (excluding exams) at any time prior to the Final Exam for half credit. Exams are important events in this course. In order to make up an exam, you must notify me of your intended absence prior to the exam and schedule a makeup time or provide immediate documentation of an extenuating circumstance that caused you to miss the exam. Unless an extreme extenuating circumstance occurs, you must be present for the Final Exam to pass the course. Attendance and Grading Scale: Regular attendance is highly encouraged. If you are unable to attend class, notify me in advance. As previously noted, in-class assignments will not be able to be made up unless you have given me prior notice. Grading Scale: A = 90%-100%, B = 80%-89%, C = 70%-79%, D = 60%-69%, F = 59% and below DISABILITY STATEMENT Williston State College is committed to providing equal access to students.
