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.
Pass‐NoPass (P/NP)
You may take this class P/NP. You must decide before the deadline, and add the option online in your student portal or file the P/NP form with Admissions and Records. With a grade of C or better, you will get P.
You must file for the P/NP option by the deadline listed above. Once you decide to go for P/NP, you cannot change back to a letter grade.
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.
Late Policy
All assignments are due at the start of class on the due date, unless other instructions are given. A late submission will receive a 50% penalty. Submissions more than one week late are not accepted without prior arrangement.
Exams
There will be an online final exam. The material comes from the class lectures and supplemental materials. If the exam is missed or submitted late, a zero will be recorded as the score. It is your responsibility to take the exam 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.
Grades will be assigned as follows:
A |
90% |
---|---|
B |
80% |
C |
70% |
D |
60% |
If taking 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.
