ATTENDANCE POLICY
It is strongly recommended that you attend all lectures. Attendance for exams is mandatory. There will be no make-up exams or quizzes. • Excused absences for exams and quizzes will not hurt your overall grade. • Example: death in the family, medical problems, official UCF functions, etc. • Travel conflicts is not an excusable absence. • Notify your instructor no later than 24 hours after the absence. • Excused absences must be supported in writing within 1 week.
|
HOMEWORK
A short quiz or homework assignment will be given during no more than ten of the lectures. They will be of a similar standard to the homework questions at the end of each section in the book. Quizzes/homework will contribute to 10% of your final grade.
|
TESTS
There will be five midterm tests during the semester (worth 100 points each) and a comprehensive final exam (worth 100 points). The lowest test grade will be dropped. The final exam will NOT be dropped. Graphing calculators, cell phones, and PDA’s cannot be used.
|
GRADING POLICY
The course grade is determined by taking the top four scores from the five midterm exams, plus the final exam and the quizzes/homework. Final grade assignment follows the standard scale:
|
GRADING SCALE |
| Average | Grade | | 90 - 100%
| A | | 80 - 89%
