CLASSROOM POLICY
Dress: On activity days (every day during a Maymester semester), appropriate clothing for an activity is
required. This would include non-restrictive workout clothing and proper footwear (warm-up pants, shorts,
t-shirts, and tennis shoes). No jeans, slacks, cutoffs, belts, boots, or sandals will be allowed. If proper
attire is not worn, you may not participate, and you will be marked absent from the class. Announcements
will be made each class period regarding upcoming “activity” days and times. Therefore, it is the tudent’s
responsibility to come dressed appropriately each day. If you have questions regarding clothing
requirement for the day, it is suggested that you wear workout attire, just to be safe.
Supplies: Textbook with included labs and labs printed from website; workout clothes; tennis shoes
* The absence of supplies and proper clothing will impact participation grade.
Daily Sign-in Policy: Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class, and you will be expected to sign
the attendance sheet at that time. Upon entering the classroom, please sign the attendance sheet. You
are allowed to sign in only when you are prepared to begin class. A “tardy line” will be marked, and all
names below the tardy line will be counted late.

GRADING POLICY
Labs
20 points
(each lab carries an individual weight)
It is critical that students are in attendance for each class, as all lab content, explanation, and
instruction comes during the class period. If you are absent, there will be no way to make up lab work,
and, as a result, lab points will be lost. In order for labs to be accepted for grading, they must be turned in
on or before due date. NO LAB WILL BE ACCEPTED LATE, regardless of absences. Most labs will be
found in the textbook. However, there are a few labs that will need to be printed out and brought to class
on the appropriate day. These labs may be found on my website.

Exams may be found under the “Course Content” tab on specified dates and times. Information on exam
covers all material covered within the Chapter Unit; I.e., PowerPoint presentations, lectures, reading
assignments, website assignments, laboratory assignments, podcasts, etc. Nothing is allowed during the
testing period – no books, notes, PowerPoints, etc. You are answering the questions with no assistance,
just as you would during a testing period for an on-site course.
The Midterm Exam covers Chapters 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 4, and will be available online. The exam will be
available beginning May 27, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., and closing deadline will be May 28, 2014, at 8:00 a.m.
There is a two-hour time limit. No make-up exams are allowed.

time limit.
ABSOLUTELY NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN.
Participation
10 points
A zero to 10 point (10 points maximum) participation grade may be earned at the end of the
semester. This subjective grade will be based on contribution to class discussions, group activities,
individual contribution to group activities, desire to learn and participate in labs, activities, sport games,
etc., and the willingness to contribute in a positive manner to the success of the course.
Attendance, Participation, and Punctuality
30 points
Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class and you will be expected to sign the
attendance sheet at that time. If you arrive to class one to 10 minutes beyond the scheduled starting
time, you will be marked tardy. Three (3) tardies result in one (1) absence. The sign-in sheet is taken up
at that time, and arrival any time beyond the ten (10) minute tardy time, you will be marked absent.
A total of 30 points may be earned for attendance and punctuality during the course of the
semester. In order to receive attendance credit for the day, you must stay for the entire scheduled time
(8:00 a.m. – 11:55 a.m.). If for any reason you leave and do not finish the allotted time period, you will be
marked absent for that time period. Because the length of the semester is eleven (11) days, it is essential
that you attend class regularly. All absences will be treated the same. There will be no excused
absences. Each absence results in a 25 point deduction from the 30 point total. With any additional
absences after one (1) absence, the student will not receive credit for the course, and will receive a grade
of “F.”
Quizzes
10 points
At the close of each Chapter, the student will submit a completed quiz. The information covered
in each Chapter will be reflected on the quiz. There will be a time period of 20 minutes to complete each
quiz. Quizzes are available at 9:00 a.m. and are due at 9:00 a.m., on the specified dates.

Final Exam
Note:
You are expected to attend class regularly. However, if you are unable to complete this course,
you must withdraw from it by the withdrawal date of May 23, 2014. Withdrawing from a course is a formal
procedure that you must initiate; I cannot do this for you. If you stop attending and do not withdraw, you
will receive a performance grade, usually an F. Students sometimes drop courses when help is available
to them to continue. I hope you will discuss your plans with me if you are considering withdrawing from
this course.
