Grade Policy:

There will be 2 or 3 in class exams plus a cumulative final. Each exam is worth 100 points and the final is worth 200 points. The lowest 100 points will be dropped. There will be 100 points in homework assignments. In addition, there will be a series of weekly quizes totaling 100 points. The quizes and assignments will NOT be dropped.

Sample Grade Calculation: Exam 1: 85/100, Exam 2: 80/100, Quizes: 90/100, Homework 95/100, final 140/200.
Since the final (70/100) is the lowest grade, the grades used are 85+80+90+95+70 = 420/500
Final Grade: 420/500 = 84 = B

Withdraw Policy:
A W can be obtained up the day of the final. Once the final has been taken, no grade of W will be assigned. After the date of automatic W, it is the students responsibility to obtain, complete and a submit a Withdrawal form available from the registrar.

Attendance Policy:
More than 4 absences may result in being dropped from the course. Students arriving late to class may not be allowed to enter and / or be marked absent. See the college catalog for further details.
