GRADING POLICY
Each assignment, simulation or test is given a point value. Points earned are added up and divided by total
points possible for a percentage. Students may earn “extra credit” points to improve grade provided their
regularly assigned work is complete. An unexcused absence qualifies as a zero for the day and no make-up
work or exams will be allowed. An excused absence qualifies for full make-up within two days or the absence.
All make-up work/late work will be completed before the next exam of no credit will be given. Late work will
be strictly penalized at the discretion of the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain and complete
all make-up work in the allotted time.
