GRADING SCALE:
90% - 100%
A CLASS READING: Read the chapter listed on the syllabus BEFORE we discuss the chapter online! Participation is very important in this class. This can occur only if the chapters are read before we start the chapter. Participation is taken into consideration at the end of the semester if you are on the borderline for a particular grade. HOMEWORK: All chapters will have homework assignments due. These homework assignments will be turned in at each test. No homework will be accepted late. There is a high correlation between good grades and doing your homework!!! You will also be posting some of the homework problems on Blackboard which count towards your grade. TESTS: There will be four tests and a final exam throughout the semester. All tests will be taken at the IVCC Assessment Center (E215). You will have 1.5 hours to take each test. To fit everyone's busy schedule, you will have two different days to take the test. The test dates are on the class schedule. You choose which day fits your schedule the best and take the test that day. Bring all homework for this test to the test and hand it in with your test. The Assessment Center hours for the semester on our test dates are: Wednesday and Thursday: 9am-8pm . If none of these times fit your schedule, please call me to set up a different time. For the students who are out of the IVCC district, it is your responsibility to give me a contact name and number at your institution to proctor the test. Please do this at the beginning of the semester to ensure the tests arrive on time. HONOR SYSTEM: All students are expected to submit their own work. If any tests or assignments are copied, the students in question will each receive a "0" for that grade and the instructor reserves the right to withdrawal the student from the class or failure of the class. The instructor reserves the right to withdrawal the student or fail the student in any academic dishonesty situation. WITHDRAWAL: "If you do withdraw by the last day for automatic withdrawal, you will earn a "W" grade, which does not affect your grade point average (GPA). Please note: In order to withdrawal from this course, YOU must request a withdrawal from the instructor. This request may be in the form of an office visit, a phone call, a letter, or an e-mail. In the absence of the instructor, the student must contact the Dean of Natural Sciences and Business (Ron Groleau). I will only withdraw a student if he or she has initiated the proper request or has not taken any quizzes or tests by midterm. All withdrawals earn a grade of "W" which does not affect the GPA but deletes the course credit(s) for the involved course(s). Please see the IVCC catalog for a full description of the college’s withdrawal policy. It is your responsibility to initiate a withdrawal." Last day for automatic withdrawal is Friday, November 6, 2009!! OTHER: If you are a student with a cognitive, physical or psychiatric disability you may be eligible for academic support services such as extended test time, texts on tape, note taking services, etc.... If you are interested in receiving academic support services, please contact the Special Populations Office at 224-0284, office B-204.

ALL the homework and have questions ready for the Blackboard!!
