Grading and Examination Policy

2 Exams - 25 pts each
Quizzes/Homework - 25 pts
1 Project - 25 pts
1 Comprehensive Final Exam - 25 pts (Thursday, May 5, 2pm)

The top three scores from the three exams and the total quiz/homework score will be added to the project score to obtain the total grade for the course (out of a total of 100 pts). All exams and quizzes will be closed-book/closed-notes (1 sheet of 8.5x11 notes allowed).  No make-up exams unless previous arrangements have been made. Students will be expected to attend class and prepare assignments. Habitual failure to do so will result in a reduced grade. An incomplete grade will only be given when a student misses a portion of the semester because of illness or accident. Cheating on examinations, plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty are serious offenses and may subject the student to penalties ranging from failing grades to dismissal.
