Course Grade Your grade will be based upon three equally weighted examinations over the assigned chapters and lecture material. Approximately two thirds of the questions will come from the text, one third of the questions will come from the lectures. In addition, some consideration will be given for classroom attendance and participation in classroom discussion. Any student who desires accommodation in this classroom because of a learning or physical disability should contact the instructor to discuss the process of accommodation. This can be done after the first class or a later time provided that it is before the first examination.
