It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor by text or email that he/she wants to make up the Written Chapter Test. If the student fails to make text or email arrangements within 5 business days with the instructor, it is assumed that the student will not make up the Written Chapter Test and no arrangements will be made. If the student makes arrangements to take the test and then fails to take the Written Chapter Test within a week of the date of availability, the student will not be able to reschedule the test. Any missed Written Chapter Tests that are not made up will receive the grade of 0. Students will not be allowed to re-do assessments that have already been taken. The Final Exam is not eligible; the Final Exam will be taken on the date listed on the syllabus, no exceptions.

12. Final Exam: The Final Exam is a requirement for the course and will be taken on the date listed on the syllabus. If the

student does not take and complete the Final Exam, the instructor WILL count a "0" for the Final Exam grade and then the instructor WILL deduct one (1) letter grade from the student’s final average. No exceptions.

13. Grading Policy

A = 90 – 100%, B = 80 – 89%, C = 70 – 79%, D = 60 – 69%, F < 60%; FX = failure due to excessive absences *Final grades, grades for tests, the final exam, MSL homework and class participation will not be scaled or curved.

Required Expectations for the Student

17. Class Participation – 15% of final grade: Showing up to class is an important part of the grade, but participation and active engagement in the class (i.e. in-class speaking activities; participation in pair, group individual activities; in-class written activities, note-taking, demonstration of class preparedness) are essential. Calculation of the participation grade is up to the discretion of the instructor and will be based on the student’s level of interaction in class as well as compliance with in-class activities of the aforementioned examples. Student are encouraged to participate every day, ask questions, take notes and take the initiative in engaging themselves during class time. Each student will be eligible for 10 class participation points for day.

18. Attendance Policy- 5% of final grade: Each student may miss two (2) classes (the equivalent of one week) before losing full attendance points. Any and all absences will negatively affect the student’s attendance & class participation grade!! The student receives 6 points per day for attendance. The first two (2) absences the student will receive 1/2 of the credit or 3 points. If a student misses part of the class, they will be deducted half points (for example: if a student leaves early from class the instructor reserves the right to deduct at least 3 points from the daily attendance grade.) Any full or partial absences over the first full two days (this also includes accumulated partially missed days) the student will receive grade of 0 points for each subsequent day of absence. The student will also be deducted points for any cumulative full absences as well (i.e. a student arrives late to two classes; up to 6 points can be deducted.) As a courtesy, please notify the instructor of any anticipated absence either by phone/voicemail or by e-mail. GENERAL RULE: DON’T MISS CLASS!

19. Five (5) cumulative absences WILL result in a failing grade for the course. A failure due to excessive absences will receive a grade of FX. There is no special consideration for absence due to illness and/or hospitalization.

20. Keep in mind: You have to attend class to be eligible for class participation points, so ANY ABSENCE WILL NEGATIVELY

AFFECT THE CLASS PARTICIPATION GRADE AS WELL AS THE ATTENDANCE GRADE. For example, if you attend class and participate, you are eligible for 15 points. If you leave class early, but have participated, you are eligible for 10 points. If you attend the entire class but do not participate, you are eligible for 5 points. If you don’t attend class you do not receive any points (0).

21. Expected Classroom Behavior:

Arrive to class prepared and on-time, with homework completed and previous lessons mastered Participate in whole class, individual and small group/ partner activities Refrain from using portable electronic devices Respect all classmates Stay in class until class is finished

22. Any student who misses a class has assumed the responsibility to gather the information covered in class and the
