Course & University Policies
Your course grade will reflect how you perform relative to your peers on
four in-class, non-cumulative tests, homework assignments, and class
participation. The weights of the tests, assignments and class
participation are as follows:
Tests: 72%.
Homework assignments: 20%
Course grade determination
Class participation: 8%
The tests are in-class and non-cumulative. They may include multiple
choice questions, short problems, and open-ended questions. If you
cannot attend class on the day on which we have a test, notify me in
Tests
advance. At my discretion, either a make-up test will be scheduled, or
the weight of the test will be re-allocated to the other components of
your course grade.
There are fifteen short homework assignments – one from each module,
but only the ten assignments with the highest scores will count toward
your grade. The maximum score is two points. If your work does not
demonstrate sufficient progress in mastering the material or is
incomplete, you get one point. If your work shows a lack of effort or
understanding of the material, you get zero points.

The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and
academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends
upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that
degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of
individual honor in his or her scholastic work.
Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other
classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt with
under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for
details). This course will use the resources of turnitin.com, which
searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.
