Grading Policy:

Assignments: 25% of course grade.

Assignment grades are based on the number of errors per chapter, NOT PER DOCUMENT!!. In order to earn any credit for a chapter, all printed documents from the exercises and the assigned “Applying your skills” assessments must be stapled in order and handed in TOGETHER (e.g. Chapter 1 Exercises and Assessments must be handed in together).

Grading for assignments is as follows:

Exercises: 25% of the weekly assignment is given for completion of all exercises. “Applying your skills” assessments: 75% of the weekly assignment. Generally, two points will be deducted for each error from the 100 points possible per assignment. Weekly assignments are due the following week. All work must be handed in before finals week to insure credit. Be sure to label all printouts with your name, chapter and the exercise or assessment number.

Unit Tests: 50% of course grade. (25% each) Final Exam: 25% of the course grade. The final exam consists of all typed documents covering any of the techniques learned throughout the course. Each error on the two unit tests and the final exam is worth 2 points out of a possible 100 points.

Grades: Grades will be determined according to the following scale: 94 - 100% = A 73 - 76% = C 90 - 93% = A- 70 - 72% = C- 87 - 89% = B+ 67 - 69% = D+ 83 - 86% = B 63 - 66% = D 80 - 82% = B- 60 - 62% = D- 77 - 79% = C+ < 60% = F

A grade of (W)ithdrawal will be given only if a student officially withdraws from class before 04/22 as stated in the schedule. In order to officially withdraw, a student must complete the Add/Drop form available at the Winnemucca Branch office. An (I)ncomplete will be given only to a student who has completed three-fourths of the course and requests an extension before the end of the semester. Students have until the middle of the following semester to complete the work for a final grade. An incomplete not made up within this time period will have a grade assigned by the instructor which could be an ‘F’ or ‘W’.
