Grading for the course will be based on a straight scale (as opposed to a curve), where
 
A+ = 99-100, A = 94-98.9, A- = 90-93.9,
B+ = 87-89.9, B = 83-86.9, B- = 80-82.9,
C+ = 77-79.9, C = 73-76.9, C- = 70-72.9,
D+ = 67-69.9, D = 63-66.9, D- = 60-62.9,  
F = Below 60

Components of the course grade (with associated weight) are summarized below:
 
Quizzes 25% (2 quizzes, 12.5% each)
Review Sheet Terms 15% (2 sheets, 7.5% each)
Midterm Exam 30%
Final Exam (not cumulative) 30%
100%

The quizzes/exams will be a combination of multiple choice, true/false, and matching and short
answer questions.

After grading, they will be returned the last 10 minutes of class for your review. You are
welcome to review them further in my office during office hours or by appointment. They are
not to be taken outside my office.
 
Make-up exams are not available unless planned with me in advance of the scheduled exam date
with verifiable documentation. If an emergency situation arises in which you can't make the
scheduled exam, contact me as soon as possible so that we can work out an acceptable plan of
action. Please have documentation of the emergency ready to show me when we meet.
Review Sheet Terms are meant to aid in preparation of exams and will be assigned twice
throughout the semester. Further instruction will be provided in-class.

Class attendance (including being on time) and participating, are important for your
professional development and for gaining a greater understanding of the course concepts.
Attendance and participation are typically needed to earn an A in this course.
