ATTENDANCE POLICY It is strongly recommended that you attend all lectures. Excused absences (death in the family, medical problems, official UCF functions etc.) for exams and quizzes will not hurt your overall grade, but your instructor must be notified no later than 24 hours after the absence, and they must be supported in writing within 1 week.
|
HOMEWORK You should complete the questions at the end of each section prior to the next lecture, as they will improve your success on the quizzes.
|
TESTS There will be four midterm exams worth 100 points each, and a comprehensive final exam worth 100 points. When you finish an exam you should submit your scantron (which will not be provided, so be sure to bring your own) and keep your test paper. The solutions to all the exams can be obtained from your instructor. The use of graphing calculators is not permitted, nor is the use of cell-phone calculators. Anyone who is more than 15 minutes late for an exam will automatically receive a score of zero.
|
GRADING POLICY The course grade is determined by taking the top three scores from the four midterm exams (60%), plus the final exam (20%) and the quizzes (20%).
|
GRADING SCALE |
| Average | Grade | | 90 - 100%
| A | | 80 - 89%
| B | | 70 - 79%
| C | | 0 - 59%
| F | |
NC POLICY If you attend 80% more of the lectures, take all tests, and have a final average of at least 50% then a No Credit (NC) grade will be awarded in place of an F.
