Exam 3
Grades: There are three exams; each is worth 200 points. The final exam is not cumulative. In addition to these three exams you will also have several quizzes throughout the semester which will be based on assigned readings from relevant journals. The total value of these quizzes will be 100 points. Grades will be determined using point totals according to the following scale:
660-700 A 630-659 A-
600-629 B+ 570-599 B 540-569
B- 510-539 C+ 480-509 C
<480 F
Attendance: Every student is responsible for all material presented and announcements made during any class. There will be no make-up exams unless I am notified at least 24 hours prior to the exam that you will be absent.
