Assignments
must be turned during class on the day they are due. If you have any questions regarding how any assignment or test is
graded and you think that you deserve more points than you received, you must
see the instructor about this within one week of the time the assignment is
first returned to the class. No claims,
justifiable or not, will be considered after this dead line.
Attendance
at class is up to the discretion of each student; however, each student is
responsible for all information (notes, hand-outs, announcements, etc.) covered
during class. You should ask fellow
classmates for missed information, not the instructor or the TA.
In
order to receive a passing grade for this course, a student must have a passing
average for all of the tests. For each
test, a passing grade will be determined.
If the average test grade for a student is less than the average of the
passing grades, the student will automatically fail, regardless of how well the
students did in the other parts of the course.
No
incompletes will be given for poor performance in the course. No "extra" work is allowed to make
up for poor performance. Any student
caught cheating will receive an E in the course, and face possible dismissal
from the University. Students are
advised that it is a violation to copy, or allow another to copy, all or part
of an exam or program.
Final
letter grades will be assigned based on the total number of point earned during
the semester. The letter grades will be
assigned on a curve that will be no higher than those shown above in the
"Grading" section.
