ATTENDANCE•Not a factor in grading except…

Missing am exam requires a physicians excuse

Submitting an assignment late will result in a grade reduction and nothing will be accepted after the class before the exam. Exception: Practice Sheets are not accepted late.

Assignments mailed to me and post marked on or beforethe due date are considered on time.

For all assignments…

A+ = 97 -100 (99) C+ = 77-79 (78)A = 93-96 (95) C = 73=76 (75) F = 01-59 (55)A- = 90-92 (91) C- = 70-72 (71) Missing = 0B+ = 87-89 (88)B = 83-86 (85) D = 60-69 (65)B- = 80-82 (81)

For final grades…

A = 90.0; B = 80.0; C = 70.0; D = 60.0; F<60

BUT IF YOU RECEIVE AN ‘F’ON BOTH THE UNIT PLAN AND THE FINAL EXAM, YOU FAIL THE COURSE!
