Grading Procedures
Grading:
Exams:

You must have an understanding of important concepts, and cultivate the ability
to reason logically (analytical and evaluative reasoning) concerning subjects you
have learned in this class to do well on exams.

There will be FOUR major exams (includes the midterm and final exam) given
during the semester. Each will cover the required text reading, lectures and
laboratory assignments during that period.

All major exam grades will be equal in value or 100 points possible each. Your
exams will be taken online through EZTEST. You will have a maximum of five
days from the date the exam opens until it closes to take the exam.

There will be no ‘retakes’ so you must prepare to take the exam when it is open
and allow yourself enough time to complete it before it closes. You will be given
dates and times of opening and closing of the exam prior to the exam.

Exams once scheduled will open at 8 am on Wednesday of the exam week and
close completely at 10 pm on the following Sunday (5 days). Any changes to this
scheduled will be sent to you.

YOU must take the timed exam at one sitting. You will have 2.5 hours to take the
exam. The latest you may wait to take the exam would be on Sunday at 7:30 pm
if you want the full 2.5 hours to take it.

YOU may drop the lowest grade of one of the first three major exam grades…but
you may not drop the final exam grade or grades of any additional assignments
given to you including the lab.

YOU are responsible for making sure you have access to a good internet
connection whether it be at home or at the college.

You are responsible for accessing your exam URL when it is offered and leaving
yourself enough time to take the exam.
Rev. 07/29/2015

YOU are responsible for choosing the day and time offered to take the exam

YOU are responsible for remembering to check your E-mail and ConnectPlus
daily for any changes involving a preset exam.

The additional class assignments and/or lab assignment(s) will make up 30
maximum points. There will be a total maximum of 330 points possible in all once
you have dropped the lower of the first three exams grades.

Example: If the first three grades are
80
100
75
I would drop the 75
If your final (4th) exam is a 60 you may not drop it and it will average in with your
assignment scores (maximum of 30 points) and the 80 and 100 above. Your
grade would be based on the score points below.

o
297 - 330 = A
264 - 296 = B
231 - 295 = C
198 - 230 = D
less than 198 = F
Assignments/exercises must be completed and turned in or submitted as told to do
so.

All online assignments must be completed within a time limit designated by the
assignment instructions. There will be no extensions on time limits. The
assignments will count as part of your total assignment grade.

If you have a technical problem while taking EZTEST you must contact ‘support’
at the EZTEST site to get help and/or let me know you have had a problem and
are attempting to rectify the problem immediately.

Examinations and Grading Scale:
Lecture and laboratory examinations will contain a combination of multiple
choices, short answer and/or applied essay questions, with multiple parts.
Questions will be drawn from the material covered since the previous exam and
lecture for major exams and from the laboratory findings in laboratory exams.
Each major exam will carry equal weight.
Total scores at 90% but  of the top total score.........................A
Total scores at 80% but < 90% of the top total score.................B
Total scores at 70% but < 80% of the top total score.................C
Total scores at 60% but < 70% of the top total score.................D
Total scores < 60% of the top total score....................................F.
Incomplete Grades
At the discretion of the instructor, an incomplete grade (“I”) may be awarded when the
student is unable to finish the required work because of unforeseen extenuating
circumstances such as illness or TDY assignment. To receive an “I” grade, the student
must have successfully completed a significant portion of the required coursework and
be able to finish the remaining work without attending class. An “I” grade will
automatically convert to a grade of “F” if the student does not complete the remainder of
the coursework by the established deadline.
Make-up Work
Some work cannot be made up. Student with an EXCUSED ABSENCE must speak
with Professor
Classroom Conduct
Academic Honesty:If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing another individual’s work,
you will receive an “F” for a grade in this course and will be reported to the appropriate
office. Students are responsible for adherence to all college policies and procedures,
Rev. 07/29/2015
including those related to academic freedom, cheating, classroom conduct,
computer/network/email use and other items included in the NWFSC Catalog and
Student Handbook. Students should be familiar with the rights and responsibilities
detailed on pages 2529 of the 200708 NWFSC Catalog and Student Handbook.
Plagiarism, cheating or any other form of academic dishonesty is a serious breach of
student responsibilities and may trigger consequences which range from a failing grade
to formal disciplinary action. You are responsible for your own work unless I have
placed you in a group situation…use your own words in grammatically correct form and
spelling.
I will not accept assignments that have been copied and pasted from outside sources.
Class Attendance
Students who stop attending class or are not able to pass the course due to attendance
expectations stated in the syllabus may receive a failing grade of “FA.” An “FA” grade is
a failing grade in GPA calculations and may impact the receipt of federal aid in
subsequent courses. Students traveling for college approved activities will not be
penalized academically but will be responsible for missed work.
 Role will be taken at each class meeting and attendance. Attendance and
promptness are mandatory. While it is recognized that certain unforeseen
events may prevent you from attending a certain class, you will be held
responsible for all information conveyed during scheduled class meetings.



YOU MUST ATTEND CLASS TO PASS THIS COURSE. DO NOT PLAN
FAMILY TRIPS DURING THIS TIME WHICH WILL MAKE YOU MISS
CLASS. THEY WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS EXCUSED.
For an absence to be excused, it must be determined as such during an office
meeting with the instructor during office hours or some other appointed time
within the following 24 hours.
If you have three consecutive absences or 25% total absences you will
automatically be dropped from the course.
Assignments
Assignments/exercises must be completed and turned in or submitted as told to do
so.

All online assignments must be completed within a time limit designated by the
assignment instructions. There will be no extensions on time limits. The
assignments will count as part of your total assignment grade.
Rev. 07/29/2015
Internet Access
REQUIRED INTERNET ACCESS:
You must have internet access for this course since exams are taken online and
assignments are given online.
There may also be occasions when there is no class…however, on those days you will
have assignments and/or study to do through the ConnectPlus website and/or through
E-mails from me.
REQUIRED CHECKING OF SCHOOL E-MAIL AND CONNECTPLUS EACH DAY:
You must check your school e-mail AND ConnectPlus once or twice daily for additional
information or assignments.
YOU are responsible for being able to access your school E-mail and ConnectPlus
starting at the beginning of the class semester. If you need help ask then not two
months later.
Lectures:
A great deal of complicated material is covered in this course, and considerable study
will be required to master the topics, which will be addressed. Please bring your text to
class as I may refer to a specific diagram or paragraph on one the pages. The course
material will contain information given in your text as well as other information that I feel
might complement the section being discussed. You are required to read and be
familiar with the sections to be discussed in class since this will aid you understanding
the concepts discussed.
I will have major Power Points for each chapter covered…however…you are
responsible for the entire chapter. Read and know the chapters!
Cell Phone/Electronic Devices
Cell Phones, Pagers, Any Other Electronic Device Usage:
Cell phones, pagers and other such electronic devices must be turned off during class
and lab time. Communication by electronic devices, including but not limited to instant
messaging, text messaging, and telephone, website surfing, Facebook, twitter or any
other extraneous activity during class is strictly prohibited unless expressly designated
as part of the learning activities. No earphones attached to electronic music devices will
be in use in class. Use of electronic communication devices during examinations or
other graded activities may constitute grounds for disciplinary action.
Rev. 07/29/2015
Where emergency or employment situations require access to electronic
communication services, arrangements may be made in advance with the instructor. In
certain circumstances, (e.g. exams, presentations, etc.), students may be required to
temporarily deposit cell phones or other communications devices with the instructor or
lab supervisor for the duration of the specific class/lab.
Those caught using unauthorized electronic communications in class during lectures will
be asked to leave the class and it will be counted as an ‘unexcused absence.’
Emergency College Closure
In the event of unusual or extraordinary circumstances, the schedule, requirements, and
procedures in this course are subject to change. If the college closes for inclement
weather or other emergency, any exams, presentations, or assignments previously
scheduled during the closure period will automatically be rescheduled for the first
regular class meeting held once the college re-opens. If changes to graded activities are
required, students will not be penalized as a result of the adjustments, but will be
responsible for meeting revised deadlines and course requirements.
Children in the Classroom
As a courtesy to other students and the learning process, students may not bring
children with them to class sessions. Health and safety concerns prohibit children from
accompanying adult students in any lab, shop, office, or classroom or other college
facility where potential hazards exist. If a child-related emergency means you must
miss class, contact the instructor as soon as possible to determine your options. (The
full “Children on Campus” policy statement appears in the College Catalog.)
Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Academic Integrity
Students are responsible for adherence to all college policies and procedures, including
those related to academic freedom, cheating, classroom conduct, computer/network/email use and other items included in the Northwest Florida State College Catalog and
Student Handbook. Students should be familiar with the rights and responsibilities
detailed in the current Northwest Florida State College Catalog and Student Handbook.
Plagiarism, cheating, or any other form of academic dishonesty is a serious breach of
student responsibilities and may trigger consequences which range from a failing grade
to formal disciplinary action.
