“Makeup” Test Policy: Approval for making up a missed test should be given prior to the scheduled test. The makeup test must be taken within one week following the scheduled test. Documentation is required for all make-ups. Except for extraordinary circumstances, approval for a makeup test will not be granted if the scheduled test has already been given. In this case, the final exam score will replace the excused missed test.

The Learning Assistance Center: Radford University offers a student service called the Learning Assistance and Resource Center (LARC) that will be able to answer many of your academic questions and concerns. If you would like to schedule an appointment, you can do so by visiting their website, http://www.radford.edu/~larc. You can also call them at 831-7704.

Late Homework Policy: Late hand written homework will be accepted but only limited credit will be given. I consider late homework to be homework turned in later than 5:00 p.m. of the 2 day the assignment is due. The maximum number of points a student can receive for a late homework is ten points lower than the minimum grade of all students who have turned in the assignment on time. For example, if an assigned homework is worth 80 points and the lowest score of the on-time assignments is 60/80, the maximum grade a student can receive for the assignment is 50/80. No exceptions to this policy will be granted except for extreme circumstances that require official university documentation or a predetermined arrangement between the student and myself that is done prior to the assignment due date. Late assignments must be turned in within one class day of the assignment due date to obtain any credit. WeBWorK homework has an assigned due date and time where late homework is not permitted.

Attendance Policy: Attendance is a requirement in this class and in the lab period. If you miss a class or lab, you are responsible for making up any missed work. Attendance will be taken each class and lab period. Attendance means RESPONSIBILITY – I look much more favorably on students who have good attendance habits.
