Dropping the Class

If you decide to discontinue this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop it. A student may be dropped from any class when that student's absences exceed ten percent (10%) of the total hours of class time. It is strongly advised that if you need to miss more than one class/homework deadline in a row that you contact the instructor to avoid being dropped from the class.

Attendance

For face-to-face courses, students who fail to attend the first class meeting may be dropped by the instructor. For classes that meet online, students who fail to log on and initiate participation by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time of the first day of the class may be dropped by the instructor. 

Instructor Announcements and Q&A Forum

The instructor will post announcements on the “Instructor Announcements” page in Canvas throughout the semester. Canvas notifies students according to their preferred Notification Preferences. A “Q&A Forum” is also available as a pinned Discussion to ask for assistance of your classmates or of the instructor.

Late Policy

All assignments are due at midnight PST on the due date. A late submission will receive a 20% penalty. Submissions more than one week late are not accepted without prior arrangement.

Exams

There will be online midterm and final exams. The material comes from the textbook, class lectures and supplemental materials. If any exam is missed, a zero will be recorded as the score. It is your responsibility to take the exams by the due date.

Grading Policy

Click the “Grades” link in Canvas to keep track of your grades. I grade once a week and post grades and comments in the Canvas gradebook.

Once student work is graded (usually within 3-5 days) an email will go out announcing that the gradebook has been updated. Students are responsible to contact the instructor Links to an external site. if completed work was accidentally missed or if late work needs to be graded. Grades will be assigned as follows: 

A  ≥ 90%

B ≥ 80%

C ≥ 70

D ≥ 60%

F < 60

The "A" grade indicates that the student exhibits mastery of the details, concepts, vocabulary, and operations of the subject matter. The student displays the potential for significant achievement at the professional level.

The "B" grade indicates that the student exhibits an understanding of the details, concepts, vocabulary, and operations of the subject matter. The student displays the determination and commitment in the pursuit of mastery of the subject.

The "C" grade indicates that the student exhibits an awareness of the details and vocabulary of the subject matter, and the capability of performing the basic operations, and possesses an elementary knowledge of the principal concepts.

The "D" grade indicates that the student has awareness of the details and vocabulary of the subject matter but has not demonstrated the capability to perform the basic operations or of understanding the basic concepts. This student can be considered to be at the entry level of the class, and would benefit by repeating the course.

The "F" grade indicates that the student, due to one or more of the following factors, received no obvious benefit from participation in the class: 

• Failure to take or pass required examinations
• Continued lack of preparation
• Distracting or disruptive behavior in class
• Disregard of instructions
• Failure to submit required assignments
• Excessive absences 

 If taking the class Pass/No Pass you need at least 70% of the total class points and complete the midterm exam and the final exam to pass the class.
