Final Grades

Final grades will be based upon the total points earned on all requirements for the course.  Grades will be determined using the following percentage scale (total = 430 points)

Note:  Regular class attendance is expected of all students.  Research shows that missing class results in lower grades on the exams.  Your instructor encourages you to get to know other students in class so you can share notes in the event you miss class.  Arriving to class on time is also expected.  Frequent tardiness is not a virtue and it is disruptive to the class.
