Determination of Final Grade |
Your course letter grade will be based on an approximate percentage of 640 total possible points as follows: Letter Grades Point Totals Approximate Percentages A 576+ 90%+ B 512 - 575 80-89% C 448 - 511 70-79% D 384 - 447 60-69% F 383 and below 59% and below HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR GRADE AT ANY TIME DURING THE SEMESTER 1. Add all of the points you have earned as of today's date, excluding any points from practice activities. 2. Request current required total course points from instructor. 3. Divide your total points by the total number of required points as of today's date. 4. For your final semester grade divide your current total by 615 or use the grade chart on page one of this syllabus. CALENDAR OF TOTAL COURSE REQUIRED POINTS MON WEEK 2 JUN 11 30 FRI WEEK 2 JUN 15 155 MON WEEK 4 JUN 25 185 FRI WEEK 4 JUN 29 310 MON WEEK 6 JUL 9 345 FRI WEEK 6 JUL 13 470 MON WEEK 7 JUL 16 515 WED WEEK 8 JUL 25 640 HOW TO USE THE CHART OF REQUIRED POINTS 1. On any day of the course, divide your total course points by the total required points according to the chart to find your approximate course grade. 2. For example, if Student AB has 300 total course points on Monday Jul 11, the approximate course grade on that date for Student AB would be 300/320 = approximately 93 % or an A. 3. Another example shows if Student XY has 300 total course points on Friday Jul 15, the approximate course grade for Student XY would be 300/465 = approximately 64% or a D . 4. NOTE - WHEN YOU ARE ESTIMATING YOUR GRADE IN THIS COURSE, BE SURE TO USE THE ABOVE CHART INSTEAD OF ANY INFORMATION LISTED IN YOUR BLACKBOARD GRADE LISTING, WHICH MAY BE MISLEADING. 5. Calculation of final grade: If, on Wed Jul 25, student XY has a total of 500 course points, the final grade for this student would be 500/640 = 78% or C. |

ADA Considerations | The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Special Populations Coordinator, Room 231, in the Madison Monroe Building. The phone number is (409) 984-6241. | ||||||||||||
Copyright Violations |
Some material in this course may be copyrighted. They may be used only for instructional purposes this semester,
by students enrolled in this course. These materials are being used fairly and legally.
No one may distribute or share these copyrighted materials in any medium or format with anyone outside this class,
including publishing essays with copyrighted material, uploading copyrighted material to Facebook or YouTube, or
painting or performing copyrighted material for public display.
Copyright violation is not the same thing as plagiarism. Plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty. Offenses of plagiarism result in lower grades or failing scores, and professors and the college strictly enforce plagiarism rules. There is never any acceptable use of plagiarism. Copyright violation is a legal offense, punishable by large fines and penalties. Copyrighted material can be used if permission from the material’s creator is obtained, or if its use meets the standards of fair use in an educational setting. For example, a student can quote a line from Shakespeare’s Hamlet in a report without violating copyright but still be guilty of plagiarism if the quotation is not properly documented. If you are in doubt about what material can be freely used, ask your professor or contact the Dean of Library Services, at (409) 984-6216. |

Assessment Statement |
Assessment is a process by which LSCPA can help you learn better and gauge the level of progress you have made to
attain knowledge, skills, beliefs, and values. It also helps your professors understand how to improve teaching
and testing methods in your classes, and it helps each department understand and improve degree and certificate
programs.
Periodically LSC-PA will collect assessment data for research and reporting purposes, including statistical data and sometimes copies of your work. Be assured that all material the college uses for assessment purposes will be kept confidential. To ensure anonymity, your name will be removed from any material we use for assessment purposes, including video-recorded performances, speeches, and projects. If you object to allowing LSC-PA to use your material for assessment purposes, submit a letter stating so to your professor by the 12th class day. You will still be required to participate in whatever assessments are being done; we just won’t use your data. What’s the difference between assessment and grades? The grades you get on papers, projects, speeches, and assignments are specific types of focused assessment. LSC-PA’s assessment efforts include class grades, surveys, standardized tests, and other tools. |

Privacy Notice |
Federal privacy laws apply to college students. This means that college employees, including instructors, cannot
divulge information to third parties, including parents and legal guardians of students. Even if the students are
minors, information about their college work cannot be shared with anyone except in very limited circumstances.
Anyone requesting information about a student should be referred to the Registrar. Instructors will be notified in writing by that Office about what information may be released and to whom. Please remember that releasing private information about a student, however innocuous it may seem, can be a violation of federal law, with very serious consequences. Circumstances under which information may be released:
An adult student may submit, to the Registrar, a handwritten, signed note granting permission for release of
information. The note must specify what information may be divulged, and it must specify the name of the person
to whom the information may be given.
The Registrar’s office is located in the Student Center room 303B, and can be reached at (409) 984-6165. |
