My goal = fairness

Grades are based on your individual performance rather than effort, personality, potential, or need.

No student’s final grade will be increased for any reason other than calculation error.

Please do not ask for extra credit or a higher grade at the end of the semester.

 Course Activities

4 Exams (100 points each) = 400 Class participation = 20 Total points = 420

Be on time if you would like to take your exam!

Grade Determination Scale

378 to 420= A336 to 377= B294 to 335 = C252 to 293 = D 0 to 251 = F

 9) What happens if I miss an exam? May I take an exam early or a make-up? 10) FINAL EXAM!

No exams will be given early or late; any MAKE-UP exams

will be given during the scheduled FINAL EXAM.

11) How is my participation & professionalism grade calculated?

You will be given 20 points at the beginning of the semester

Participation will be evaluated each time the class meets.

Class participation & professionalism= registering for MISWEB + syllabus quiz + giving correct answers to assigned discussion questions on slides + participating in class activities.

11) How is my participation grade calculated?

Each time you miss an activity, participation question, or homework assignment, 1 point will be deducted from your grade. Participation grades will be updated on MISWEB periodically (after each exam).

Missing one class period may result in losing several participation points.

Each student will receive 1 “free pass” for a participation activity.

The free pass will not be reflected in your grade until the END of the semester.

11) How is my participation grade calculated?

12) What happens if I miss class, am late or leave early? What is considered an excused absence?

LATE = ABSENT

Plan ahead for…traffic, lack of parking, bad weather, and other reasons that are not on the University’s list of approved reasons to miss class.

12) What happens if I miss class, am late or leave early? What is considered an excused absence?

If you have more than 6 unexcused absences, you will receive a failing grade regardless of any other grades.

If you have an excused absence, please complete the absence form at the end of the syllabus.
