The last day to drop this course with a drop or withdraw notification appearing on your transcripts is March 6 th , 1999. The letter grade posted after each exam is an indication of how you performed on the exam in relation to your classmates. Your final grade will be based on the final distribution of all points you have earned in the course. In this course you have a unique opportunity to earn up to 15 extra credit points which are applied to your final grade. The extra credit points are added to your total score after the final curve has been calculated.
Many students benefit from taking advantage of the extra credit opportunities.
If you are within 15 points of the grade cutoff and you earn 15 extra credit points, your grade will be raised one latter grade. See the extra credit handout for additional details. If you are found to have access to books or notes during an exam you will receive a score of zero and the Dean of Students will arbitrate the case. It is my intent to do whatever is necessary to fully include persons with disabilities in this course. Please let me know if you need any special accommodations in the curriculum, instruction, or assessments of this course to enable you to fully participate.
