  10. Course Policies • Academic Integrity • HAVE SOME. • Don’t cheat, and don’t be complicit in cheating. • Bad things happen when you compromise your integrity, academic or otherwise. • See university policy.

  11. Course Policies • Attendance • The most successful students attend, arrive on time and stay the entire class period. • Please show some respect if arriving late. • I don’t take attendance, so I don’t need (or want) to hear about doctor notes and court dates. • If you miss class, DO NOT ask me what you missed. Ask your classmates.

  12. Course Policies • Attendance • No make-ups for ANY reason. Really. • The classroom is the primary source of information. I am under no obligation to email or post information that is announced and discussed in class. And I probably won’t.

  13. Course Policies • TESTS • There are four regular semester tests and one final exam. • The course grade will include your highest FOUR test/exam grades. • If you are happy with your grade at the end of four tests, you do not need to take the final exam (#5). • If you choose to take the final exam it will replace the lowest score from tests1-4. • The optional final exam will replace a MISSED test.

  14. Course Policies • HOMEWORK • Chapter-specific graded homework quizzes will be on Blackboard (or Moodle). • Count as 10% of your final grade. • Quizzes for each chapter are due the evening before the test for that chapter. • There are 100 total questions.

  15. Course Policies • Calculating the grade: Grades will be calculated as follows: (Tests 90%, Homework 10%)  Final Grade = .90(Test Points/4) + .10(HW score) EXAMPLE: Assume your grades on tests 1-4 are 80, 77, 74 and 84, and you have earned 95 out of a possible 100 homework points. Final Grade = .90[(80+77+74+84)/4) + .10(95) = .90(78.75) + .10(95) = 80.4, B

  16. Important Dates • Test Schedule: Dates are firm. Chapters will be updated if we get behind.
