Grading Policy
- Late assignments
- For each day a student is late in handing in an assignment, there will be a late assignment penalty of 20% per day. That is, if your assignment is handed in a day late, the maximum grade will be 80% of the total, if two days late, the maximum grade will be 60% of the total and so on. Do not bother handing in an assignment if you are more than 5 days late!
- Exams
- If a student knows before hand that she/he will not be able to take an exam the day it is officially scheduled for, it is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to take the exam prior to the day the exam is given to the class.
- No make up exams! If the student is unable to take an exam for any reason beyond her/his control, the reason/proof should be discussed/provided with/to the instructor. If consent is given to missing an exam, the final exam will be worth 65% instead of 45%. That is, no exam will be given after the official examination date.
- Incomplete Grades
- The University Policy regarding incomplete grades follows:
“A student shall receive a report of Incomplete in any course in which the course work has been passing up until the time of a documented precipitating incident or condition, but has not been completed because of illness or another reason which in the opinion of the instructor justifies the report. (Section 8.53.20 University Manual).”
- I would not consider granting an Incomplete grade unless the University policy is fulfilled.
