Gr=
ading: Skills Demonstrations wi=
ll be
taken on scantron forms 886, and will include true/false, matching, and
multiple-choice type questions, as well as problems for which written work
must be shown. The final demo wi=
ll
include material from throughout the entire course. If you participate regularly in the c=
lass,
and thus enrich the educational experience for the rest of the students, =
you
may receive up to an additional point and a half, so you might still rece=
ive
an A for an 88.5%. You may check=
your
grade at any time throughout the semester using the online gradebook, whi=
ch
appears under “Links” on the class website.
To access the online gradebook you will need your school ID and the
ticket number of the class. |

Homework and Assignments<=
/b>:
Homework will be assigned, generally the day before it is due. Each homework assignment may or may n=
ot be
collected and graded with either a ü+ (10 pts), a ü (9 pts), or a ü- (8 pts). T=
his
class is a collaborative effort by all students and as such homework
assignments, written essays, and quizzes might be examined, corrected, and
even graded by other students, for both your benefits. Please inform me at the beginning of =
the
semester if you have any objections to this policy. |

Attendance and Participation:
I expect you to attend all of the scheduled class meetings. Your attendance will count as 5% of y=
our
grade. You may miss three classe=
s without
affecting this portion of your grade, but for any absence beyond this you
will lose one percentage point. =
You
may be dropped from the class if your attendance grade reaches zero. Showing up after roll has been taken=
will
count as one half of an absence. I
will generally take roll at the beginning of class. If you are tardy, it is your responsi=
bility
to inform me at the end of class. |

Make-up work:
There will be no make-up skills demonstrations. Your lowest skills demonstration scor=
e will
be replaced by your highest score (unless you are assigned a zero because=
of
academic dishonesty). Don’t worry
about missing quizzes; your grade will only reflect quizzes which you
take. When absent, you may turn =
in
assignments up to two class meetings after you return to class. Otherwise, assignments may be turned =
in
late for half-credit up until the date of the next skills demonstration.<=

Drop
Policy and Cell Phones: It is =
your
responsibility to drop this course.
See below for relevant dates.
If you fail to drop yourself and do not complete the course, you w=
ill
likely receive an “F” for the
course. Although it is your
responsibility to drop the course, you may be dropped if you miss an exam
without notifying me or do not attend class for two weeks. Please turn off all cell phones and ot=
her
electronic devices before you enter the classroom. You will receive one warning for the entire semester =
if
your cell phone rings. SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1=
After
that, you will lose your attendance point for the day. On your third violation, you will be =
asked
to leave the classroom for the day (unless you dance to the music of your
cell phone ringing). |

with Disabilities:
Students who believe that they have some disability and that they are
entitled to academic accommodations should notify me and contact Disabled
Students Programs and Services. I would be happy to work with any
student who is academically disadvantaged in any way. |

Academic Dishonesty: Acade=
mic
dishonesty will not be tolerated. Academic
dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on exams, plagiarism,
copying assignments, and collaborating on an assignment without explicit
permission. Punishment for acade=
mic
dishonesty can range from getting a zero on the assignment to expulsion.<=
span
style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Please review your school’s policies
regarding academic dishonesty, or ask me if you have any questions. Note:
For me to assign you a grade means I am certifying that you have
earned it. I cannot give you a g=
rade
unless I am confident that you have completed the assignment on your
own. This means that if I have
presumptive evidence that you have cheated on an assignment, or that the =
work
is not your own, then I have the right to withhold a grade for the
assignment, which would be equivalent to a zero for the assignment. I do not have to prove that you cheat=
ed in
order to give you a zero for an assignment. |

In=
completes: Incomplete grades will be assigned only in the
case of documented medical emergencies.
Otherwise each student will receive a zero for any incomplete
assignments at the end of the semester, and the appropriate grade will be
recorded. |
