Grading Policy

The best of the following combinations will be used for each individual. Tests and Final are open book and notes: Combination Test 1 (%) Test 2 (%) Project (%) Final (%) Total (%) 1 25 25 20 30 100 2 20 20 20 40 100 3 25 25 20 30 100 Attendance Policy Attendance is not required but is strongly recommended since absences can have a negative effect on the student's learning and performance. Also, a student must be present for all quizzes, tests, and examinations. Honor Code All homework, quizzes, and exams that are turned in for credit should contain either the honor code pledge written out completely, or the words "Honor Pledge" written next to your signature. Collaboration with others is permissible on homework assignments only.
