Tests:

Three tests to be taken during class time, on campus. No make-ups without doctor’s excuse. Final Exam’s score will be used for one missing test.

Final Exam:

A cumulative (common) final exam (Monday, May 13, 2024, 10:15 – 12:15), on campus. Not taking the final exam will result in a semester letter grade WU, regardless of the scores from homeworks and tests.

Grading Scheme:

10% – homeworks
60% – three tests
30% – cumulative final exam
In some cases, I may use the ± system when assigning the final grade, with the exception of C-.

This is covered in Appendix C of the CSUN catalog. Academic dishonesty will always be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. According to CSUN policy, a grade that is sanctioned due to academic dishonesty cannot be replaced by subsequent course grades.
