Final Exam Week

Exam 4--

Comprehensive

 

 

 

Grades will be based on the four exams plus attendance.  The exams will count for 95% of the grade (each exam worth 23.75% of grade) and attendance for 5% of grade.

 

 Attendee grade will be calculated as follows:

                                             0-1 absence                              =              5%

                                                                    2  absence                         =              4%

                                                                    3  absences                       =              3%

                                                                    4  absences                       =              2%  

                                                                    5 absences                        =              1%

                                                                    6 absences or more          =              0%

Doctor’s or nurse’s excuses are required for excused medical absences.

 

                Additional notes: E-mail is the easiest way to reach me.

                                                Class grades are totally based on subject comprehension as measured by exams.

                                                70% is the cut-off for a C- grade.
