| FINAL GRADE = 2/3 Class Ave. + 1/3 Final Exam | ||
| Class Ave: Mean of Tests and Quizzes, Quiz Ave= 1 test. | ||
| Tests: Full period (50 minutes), NO MAKEUPS. If a test is not taken, the grade for that test is 0. One test grade may be replaced with a 4 to 5 page paper (See below). Material covered on test includes material since last exam. | ||
| Quizzes: Unannounced, any WEDNESDAY, NO MAKEUPS If there are 6 or more quizzes, 2 quizzes will be dropped before the average is computed; if less than 6 quizzes, 1 quiz dropped. Covers material from previous week. If a quiz is not taken, the grade for that quiz is 0. | ||
| FINAL: Comprehensive | ||
| PAPER: 4-5 pages, typed, double spaced. Subject should be one of the topics covered on the test to be replaced. For a grade of C, the paper must include 1) a complete description/explanation of the topic with an example and 2) three references. For a higher grade, the paper should include such additional information as scientific or social applications, historical development of technique, relationship of topic to other topics in the course, etc. Required only if a test is missed. | ||
| ATTENDANCE: Absence from class will not affect final grade, except as it effects quiz/tests grades. | ||
| ASSIGNMENTS: All odd problems unless otherwise noted. | ||
