| Test Dates: | Test
dates for the first three tests will be determined by class vote.
If you must miss a test, please see me as soon as possible to schedule a make-up examination.
The fourth test is given at the time and on the date scheduled for
the final. |
| Test Material: | You
will be tested only on the material covered in lecture.
The final examination is
not
cumulative. Before each test
you will be given a study sheet listing all of the major terms and
concepts covered on the test. Example
of a previous examination are posted at : http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/KChauff/index.html. |
| Attendance: | If
you miss class, it is your responsibility to obtain copies of the notes
for that day. Notes are also
posted at: http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/KChauff/index.html. |
| Grading: | Grades
are determine from the cumulative points from the four examinations using
a relative grading scale derived from the cumulative scores of all students
in the class. |
| Incomplete: | If
you are unable to finish the course and wish to receive an incomplete
(I), you must see me and
complete the required paperwork before final
grades are submitted. Failure
to do this will result in your automatically receiving either an AF
(absent failure) or F in the course.
If you receive an incomplete, you will have up to one year to
complete the missing work to receive a grade in the class.
After one year, the incomplete automatically becomes an F and can
not be changed. |
| Disabilities | |
| Cheating/Plagiarism |
The
above list is the proposed sequence in which material will be covered.
It is unlikely that we shall complete all of the material in great
detail, given the time provided.
