Grading:
Exam 1 = Exam 2 = Exam 3 (final) = Chapter essays = *Notice of exam dates will be given at least a week in advance. Each exam will focus on the lecture topics covered in that section; exams are not cumulative. Dictionaries and electronic translators may not be used.
*All exams must be taken. If you miss an exam, an essay-style make-up exam will replace it. If an exam is not taken by Dec. 22, 2006, an INC (incomplete) for the course will be given. However, a student with a D or F term average will receive an "F" for the course if the final exam is missed.
*No re-take exams. You have one chance to do well on each exam.
*Neatness counts. On exams, if I can't read it, it is wrong. For the essays, presentation matters.
*Cheating on exams and plagiarism on essays are grounds for failure and disciplinary measures by the College. The Internet is a resource, NOT a source of verbatim information. Every person has a unique writing style and use of grammar. DO NOT CUT and PASTE text found at an Internet web site or in a CD into your work. The use of cell phones, video phones, text messaging devices and/or similar information spreading devices during an exam is a form of cheating and will be dealt with accordingly by the Office of the Dean of Students.
*Graduating seniors (Group 8) with an A average will be exempted from the final exam (#3) providing all other work is handed in, including Atlas Exercise III, and proof of graduating senior status is supplied.
*The college rules concerning the CR/NC option are strictly followed. You must complete all required course work, including the final exam, to qualify .
