Policy and dates
- Policy on attendance Students are required to
attend all lectures. The penalty for unexcused absences is:
-
| 3-4 absences: |
grade penalty |
| 5 absences: |
F on the course |
There will be unannounced quizzes. In addition to giving the student
the incentive to study on a continuous basis, they allow me to record
attendance. Missing a quiz, or failing to collect one, each counts as
an absence.
- Grading policy
-
| quiz |
24% |
| partials |
50% |
| final |
26% |
The score on the final will replace the lower score of the two partial
exams if the student is in good standing, meaning: not more than two
unexcused absences, and, if applicable, a score of at least 50% on the
practice partial tests.
