There may be assignments made that are not on the course assignment sheet. It is the student's responsibility to check with the instructor for work missed. Each unexcused absence in excess of two will cause five percent of the total available points to be deducted from the total of earned points in determining the final course grade. Being late for class two times is equivalent to being absent and leaving early from class counts the same as being absent. Based on many years' data, students usually require a minimum of 12-16 hours per week for this course.
Many students require more.
Please do not overload your schedule. At the discretion of the instructor, homework may be taken up to be graded on the assigned chapter or homework. If a student is absent when a homework assignment is taken up to be graded or when a pop quiz is given, a grade of zero will be recorded. There may be a limited number of other supplementary assignments as determined by the professor. To drop the course and receive a drop while passing, you must have an average grade of 60 or higher on exams taken prior to the date you drop.
