Much of the material presented during class periods is from supplimentary sources and is unavailable through other means. Students who miss a class due to participation in college related activities must obtain an Absence Verification Card and present it to the instructor prior to the absence. Since all such activities are pre-planned, arrangements for makeup work must be made with the instructor prior to the absence. There will be no make-up testing unless special arrangements have been made in advance with the instructor. One extra credit section exam or homework assignments will be made available to help all students replace lost points.
Points accrued on section exams given at two-three week intervals constitute the final grade.
Section exams range from 35 - 50 questions in length and are primarily multiple choice design. Each unit exam covers the material presented during that time module, but no more. There are no midterm and collective final exams, just regular section exams like the rest. The top scores on all of the section exams given during the semester determine likewise the scale against which the individual student's collective scores are compared to determine the final grade. To determine the exact percentage on any test, simply divide your total points by the top student score on that exam.
