Homework: Homework will be assigned daily as outlined in the course calendar. The assignments are due on chapter exams days. You should complete the work daily. A complete assignment will be given full credit. Late assignments are not accepted under any circumstances. Plan on studying and completing homework a minimum of 15 hours per week. Short quizzes may be given at random.
Chapter Exams: We will have 5 chapter exams throughout the semester. The dates of the tests are on the attached schedule and there are no make up exams so plan ahead. If you know in advance that you will miss an exam, then it is possible to arrange to take the test in advance, but no exam will be given after the class has taken it. To account for any possible emergencies, one missed exam or your lowest exam grade will be dropped.
Final: We will have a cumulative final exam on Wednesday, June 3 and Thursday, June 4.

Chapter exams: 60%

Attendance: Attendance is the basis for learning and without good attendance you cannot build the foundation necessary to pass a class. Attendance is taken daily. Good attendance means going to every class meeting on time and remaining in class for the duration of class. If you cannot attend regularly, on time, and stay for the entire class, you should take this class at another time that fits your schedule.
Students arriving late or leaving early, without authorization from the instructor, may be marked tardy. Two recorded tardies will count as one absence. Excessive absences (3 or more) may result in being dropped from the class. If you do need to drop this course it is your responsibility to do the paper work, not mine.
Class Policies: All electronic devices must be turned off before entering classroom and cannot be used in the classroom. Feel free to ask questions but any other conversations will not be tolerated.
Tutoring: The TLC lab in BOHN-209 has free tutoring throughout the semester. Take advantage of this valuable resource. If you find you are struggling with a concept in the course, please seek help immediately.
Integrity: As stated in both the COC Catalog and the COC Schedule of Classes, “Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, and other forms of academic dishonesty, and/or facilitating academic dishonesty” are grounds for disciplinary action. Cheating is unacceptable. Penalties range from a zero on the exam to dismissal
from the course and /or the college.
Good Luck in this Semester !
