Course Policies
Attendance	I do not have an attendance policy, however, it only makes sense that success and attendance have a direct relationship.
Grading criteria	Tests, quizzes, group assignments, individual assignments and peer evaluations will make up your final grade. You should maintain a record of your test and quiz results in order to evaluate your progress at any given time. I use a straight percentage grade method with flexibility. Also I will give plus/minus grades. This method will be explained the first day of classes. There will be four exams each worth 100 points. Quizzes will be worth 10 points each and will be given once a week. The two lowest quiz scores will be dropped from your grade. Group and individual assignments will be worth 5 points each. You may use notes on yellow paper, hand written outside of class on examinations and quizzes. You will be placed in groups the first week of class. If you are dissatisfied with your group, you will be allowed to do group work individually.
Classroom guidelines	If a student is absent on a quiz day, that student WILL NOT be allowed to make up the quiz.
Missed exams	If a student is absent on a test day, that student WILL NOT be allowed to make up the test, unless the instructor has been contacted prior to the time of the test. A reason for the absence must be given at that time. Everyone will be expected to take the final exam on the scheduled date and time.
Late assignments	Are not accepted
Study expectations	There will be time allowed at the beginning of each class for answering questions on the assignment from the previous class. Participation in classroom discussions plays an important part in identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, you should feel free to ask questions and volunteer information whenever appropriate. Generally, assignments will be given on a daily basis. It is a must that you do your daily assignments in order to do well in this class.
Academic dishonesty	“See DMACC Educational Services Procedures ES 262 VII. A. and B” for information on plagiarism, cheating, information about appeals procedures or reference publication that addresses this information in detail.”
