IMPORTANT NOTES: |
|
IMPORTANT NOTES: |
|
I reserve the right to raise or lower final grade due to attendance and tardiness, class contribution and participation, attitude and/or other subjective values. |
|
NOTE: THIS IS A COMPUTER CLASS—PART OF YOUR GRADE IN THIS CLASS IS BASED ON YOUR PERFORMANCE—THE LAB ASSIGNMENTS THAT I ASSIGN. THE LAB ASSIGNMENTS ARE A CRUCIAL PART OF THIS COURSE. IF YOU DO NOT DO THE LAB ASSIGNMENTS, YOU WILL NOT PASS THIS COURSE. |
|
|
|
|
|
Attendance and Tardiness are important factors in determining your grade. Two absences or fewer and no latenesses will exempt you from the final exam. More than 3 absences will result in a reduction of your grade. No absences will result in raising your grade. |
|
TESTS: A student who missed a test FOR ANY REASON will make up the test within one week; the MAXIMUM grade on a make-up test is a 75. Tests that are not made up within the specified time will be recorded as a 0. |
|
|
|
|
|
LAB ASSIGNMENTS: I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY LATE ASSIGNMENTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY REASON. LAB ASSIGNMENTS NOT TURNED IN ON TIME ARE AN AUTOMATIC ZERO. |
|
MYITLAB is a software program that we will be using for this class. Your code comes with your textbook. |
