“Makeup” Test Policy: Approval for making up a missed test should be
given prior to the
scheduled test. The makeup test must be taken within one week following
the scheduled test.
Documentation is required for all make-ups. Except for extraordinary
circumstances, approval
for a makeup test will not be granted if the scheduled test has already been
given. In this case,
the final exam score will replace the excused missed test.
Late Homework Policy: Late hand written homework will be accepted but only
limited credit
will be given. I consider late homework to be homework turned in later than
5:00 p.m. of the
day the assignment is due. The maximum number of points a student can receive
for a late
homework is ten points lower than the minimum grade of all students who have
turned in the
assignment on time. For example, if an assigned homework is worth 80 points and
the lowest
score of the on-time assignments is 60/80, the maximum grade a student can
receive for the
assignment is 50/80. No exceptions to this policy will be granted
except for extreme circumstances
that require official university documentation or a predetermined
arrangement between the student
and myself that is done prior to the assignment due date. Late
assignments must be turned in within
one class day of the assignment due date to obtain any
credit. WeBWorK homework has an assigned
due date and time where late homework is not permitted.
Attendance Policy: Attendance is a requirement in this class and
in the lab period. If you miss
a class or lab, you are responsible for making up any missed work. Attendance
will be taken
each class and lab period. Attendance means RESPONSIBILITY – I look much
more favorably
on students who have good attendance habits.
The
tutors provide help with basic study skills, writing, and content-specific
material. An appointment is
necessary and can be made by calling 831-7704, emailing larc@radford.edu.
Textbook Coverage: Sections from Chapter 7-9 and possibly 10
as time permits.
