possible, make-ups should be taken within 48 hours
of the original exam. You will be allowed only one
make-up exam per quarter.
GRADES:
Exams are graded on a percentage basis. At the end
of the quarter, your average for the exams is
calculated in terms of percentage.
Your final grade for this class will be a decimal
grade. The following is a mathematical explanation
of how your percentage grade for this class will be
changed into a decimal grade for the class.
Suppose that x is your percentage grade.
1. If 93  x  100, your grade is 4.0.
2. If 0  x  59, your grade is 0.0.
3. If 60  x  92, your grade is
x  53

NOTE:
In order for learning to take place, students must feel safe;
this safety is due all students, not only those who share
your values and beliefs. For this reason, courtesy,
thoughtfulness, and acceptance are essential in our
discussions in and out of the classroom. Acceptance should
not be confused with agreement; one need not agree with a
person to listen, and one must listen well in order to
disagree respectfully. Every student in this course has a
voice and so deserves the courtesy of attentive listening and
the freedom to express diverse ideas.
