Final Exam
(Section 03: 11:30-2:00; Section 04: 3:00-5:30)
Course Requirements: read--before the dates shown--the material
specifically assigned for discussion (200 points); take regular short
quizzes (average=200 points); write two in-class essay exams (400
points); write an essay final exam (200 points). Some assignments
may not be graded. Grading: You should save all written work from
the course for one semester. Grading scale: 90%=A; 80%=B;
70%=C; 60%=D; less than 60%=F
Policies: The make-up work for any absence, excused or unexcused,
is a one-page typed essay on the reading including direct quotations
from the text and correct citation (MLA style) for the class missed due
at the beginning of the next class attended. A superficial essay
will result in a quiz grade of zero. See also the College Catalog and
the Student Handbook. Unexcused absences for more than 10% of
classes may lower a final grade one letter. Absence, excused
and/or unexcused, from more than 25% of classes may be an automatic F
in the course. Students are expected to abide by the college
Honor Code.
Inclement Weather: If the college closes for inclement weather,
students should continue work as outlined above.
