Grading Policy
- Late assignments
- If a student is late in handing in an assignment, there will be a late assignment penalty of 50% unless it has been previously agreed / approved by the instructor.
- 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 60% instead of 40%.
- 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.
