Exam information will be from the text and the lectures. There will be assignments and quizzes and class activities worth a total of 100 points during the semester. Grades will be posted on Blackboard. Make-up exams are only allowed for appropriate university, state, or federal functions. The instructor of the class needs to be informed prior to these absences and provided an official letter stating the reason.
Provision is made for one missed exam.
In place of the zero points from the missed exam, the score from the fourth exam will be inserted. When no exams have been missed, the fourth exam score will be substituted in place of the lowest score. If the fourth exam is the lowest score there will be no substitution. This is not the same as dropping an exam score. There is no alternative to taking the final exam.
