The course grade will be the average of the (homework, quiz, labs as one grade), the average (chapter test) as the second grade, and the (Final exam) as the third grade. CELL PHONE POLICY - Please put cell phones out of sight and on mute during all class times.

Instructor Policies

I will not discuss your grades over the phone or by email. If you want to discuss your grades, you must come to my office, in person.

Attendance Policy

As class attendance is crucial to making a passing grade, after 5, 7, & 9 class periods have been missed a letter grade will be dropped after each and after 11 missed class days a Failure will be recorded for the overall grade. After 6 minutes into each class period you will be counted tardy, unless there is a recognized excuse. Two tardies will count as one day absent. Class absences can also have recognized excuses, with each being handled on a one on one basis with the instructor.
