INSTRUCTOR’S GRADING POLICY |
|||||||
|
Three “Open Book Exams” will be given. These scores will be added up and averaged. The average will count as a major examination grade. These Exams will be available in the Assignment section of Blackboard. Instructor will announce when exams are made available. (Note: one point will be deducted for each incorrect answer.)
Three “Closed Book Exams” will be given. These scores will be added up and averaged. The average will count as a major examination grade.
Several “Projects” will be given. The grades on these projects will be combined and averaged and will count as a major examination grade.
A Comprehensive Examination will be given for the entire course. This score will count as a major examination grade.
The final grade for the course will be determined as follows: Average of “Open Book Exams” + Average of Closed Book Exams + Average of Projects + Score for the Comprehensive Exam = Total Score for Course. This total will then be divided by four to get course average.
