In Class Exams- Calculators are required for this course. Cell phones cannot be used as calculators. Cell phones must be off for the test. If a student answers their cell phone during the exam, an automatic zero is given. Grading Scale: Total 100% Letter grades will be assigned based the following scale. Letter Grade Assignments Percentage A 100 % B 80-89 % c 70- 79 % D 60 -69 % OF-59% Student Progress Graded exams and other assignments constitute written report of progress in class. Attendance Policy Attendance is mandatory.
The instructor recognizes that some students may have conflicts with individual lectures. In these instances, it is the responsibility of the students to catch up, for example by borrowing notes, but exams can only be made up due to university excuses (such as medical issues, sickness of child, death in the family) with appropriate documentation or university sponsored and sanctioned events with appropriate documentation. In addition, exams can be made up due to Accommodations (see the Disability statement as part Of this syllabus).
Any other reasons for missing an exam without prior consent of instructor will result with this exam being the dropped exam and if a second exam is missed for a reason not dated above, the grade will be zero. Tutoring Tutoring Center (NSA 51 03): This free tutoring center is open am-pm M-F, and staffed with tutors from am to pm each day. Additional information is available http://chemistry. Eke.

Disability Statement A student with a “disability’ may be an individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities such as learning, seeing or hearing. Additionally, pregnancy or a related medical indention that causes a similar substantial limitation may also be considered a disability under the DAD. F you are registered with the Office of Services for Individuals with Disabilities, please obtain your accommodation letters from the SODS and present them to the course instructor to discuss any academic accommodations you need.
