Workbook to accompany
the text (included with the text) Evaluation Final grade
computation: A:
87.5%, B+: 82.5%, B: 77.5%, C+: 72.5%, C: 67.5%, D: 57.5%. 1. Homework
(10%) Homework
consists of (a) Text Exercises and Problems and
(b) Student Workbook problems. Homework
will be collected and graded. Homework
is due one week after completion of the respective chapter lecture. Home work is
“acceptable” and full credit is given if more
that 90% of the problems have been completed or attempted.
If attempted, some initial work must be
shown. The homework is considered “late”
if the above conditions are not met. You
may turn in two (2) late home works for full credit.
After two late home works, homework will not
be accepted. 2. At the
beginning of most lectures
your instructor will give a short reading quiz over the assigned
reading material. These quizzes will not
be returned. 3. Tests
(85%) Three or
four tests will be
given. Tests must be taken at the
scheduled time and location ( Only one
missed or excused test
may be taken. You will be
given the opportunity to make up this test during an
assigned make-period during the final examination week. 10% will be deducted from this test if it is
not excused (refer to requirement above). 4. Attendance Students are
expected to attend
all class and laboratory sessions for the full duration of each
instruction
session. (Please refer to P. 17 “Student
Attendance Policy” in the BCC Catalog for types of excused absences
without
penalty.) If you have an excused absence
you may turn in homework, take a reading quiz or make up a laboratory
within
one week. To be excused you must contact
the instructor before the class and/or the material is due. A student who is absent (excused or unexcused)
more than four times is at risk of failing the course. Class
Participation · Assist or
tutor others in or out of class · Contribute
to “active-learning” class activities · Be an active
lab-group participant · Be respectful, courteous and tolerant Schedule
