Grading Scale

A …. [90, 100]

B …. [80, 90)

C …. [70, 80)

D …. [60, 70)

F …. [0, 60)

 

Grading Policy

4 in-class tests (50 minutes each): 15% per test (60% total)

Extra work (quizzes, homework, etc): 10%

Final exam (3 hours allotted): 30%

No calculators will be allowed on any of the tests (that includes the final).   All work must be shown on your homework, quizzes, and tests.  An answer not fully supported by work may lose full credit.  Also, the homework and the quizzes are all lumped together, as I see no distinction between the two.  If I assign work to be taken home, in all likelihood, I’ll call it a quiz.  Lastly, if it’s to your advantage, the final exam may replace your lowest in-class test score. Only one lowest test score will be replaced. 

Attendance

You are responsible for all material covered in class.  You are allowed no more than 5 absences including both excused and unexcused absences.  On the sixth absence, you may be withdrawn from the course with a grade of W or WF (WF after midpoint).  Do not regard these 5 allowed absences as "personal free days."  These are only to be used in cases of illnesses or family emergencies.  In some cases, verification may be required.

 

 

Academic Honesty

Academic Honesty is very important to this university and it should be to all of us.  The value of your degree that you are working towards is affected by all of us maintaining honesty in our academic work.  Please don’t put your education at risk by cheating in any way, shape, or form.  You won’t learn the material, and by the policy, you must be reported.  This is an involved ordeal that neither of us wants to go through.  The University’s Academic Honesty Policy can be viewed at http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/honesty/ah.pdf.
