GRADING:                  In addition to homework and quizzes there will be two midterm ex­ams and a comprehensive final exam.  Your grade for the course will be determined on the following basis:

 

                                                                                       Points          Percent

                         ASSIGNMENTS and QUIZZES)                   80                 20%

                         MIDTERMS (2 @ 100 each)                      200                 50%

                         FINAL EXAM                                               120                 30%

                                     TOTAL                                            400               100%

 

At my discretion, I may consider class participation and other subjective course-related factors when assigning grades to students whose overall score is just below a grade cutoff point.  If you have any questions about any aspect of the grading, please speak with me as soon as possible.

 

 

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS AND QUIZZES:  An assignment schedule is given on the next page.  Homework should be completed prior to the beginning of the class period assigned by the instructor. Classes are conducted based on the assumption that students have attempted the assigned homework.  Homework is due at the beginning of class but will normally be collected after going over answers in class.  Homework will be graded on the basis of problems attempted.  All homework must be prepared using an electronic spreadsheet and/or word processor.  Handwritten homework will not be accepted.  Each day’s homework assignment will be worth 3 to 5 points.  Late homework will not receive full credit. Quizzes and in-class assignments will be given on a random basis and will be worth 3 to 5 points each.  The potential score from all assignments and quizzes may exceed 80 points, however, you only need 80 points to achieve the maximum from this category to be included in the determination of the course grade. There are no make-ups for missed quizzes or in class assignments.

 

EXAMS:  Attendance is mandatory on scheduled test dates.  There will be no "make‑up" midterm exams.  If you are unable to take an exam for a legitimate reason acceptable to the instructor, your remaining exams will be given additional weight proportional to the missing exam score.  This requires that you notify the instructor prior to the exam time. 

 

The final exam will be comprehensive.

 

STUDENT CONDUCT: All University regulations regarding academic honesty apply to College of Business courses, e.g.,  any work copied from another student could result in an "F" grade in the course for all students involved.
