Grading
& Exams:
Your
course average will be calculated as a weighted course average from 3% of your
OWL web-based homework score, 17% of your quiz average, and 26.67% from each of
your three exam scores.
Course
Average = (OWL homework )(0.03) + (Quiz average)(0.17) + (Exam 1)(0.2667) +
(Exam 2)(0.2667) + (Exam 3)(0.2667)
Exams
are 100 points each and are composed of 30 multiple choice questions.
Each exam score will contribute 26.67% to the weighted course average.
A sample exam is available at the web address given above.
Quizzes
are worth 20 points each. A total of
six quizzes will be given.
There
are a total of three OWL homework assignments.
An OWL assignment will be due the same day of each exam.
Each assignment will include topics tested on that day’s exam.
The student should stay current by working problems from an OWL
assignment as each topic is covered in class.
NOTE: We are on CST.
OWL is on EST. When an OWL
assignment indicates a due time of 9:00 a.m., this means 8:00 a.m. our time!

Cell
Phone Policy During Class
The
large number of students in this class creates the potential for a noise
problem. Please be considerate of
your fellow students and the instructor by making a personal commitment not to
cause unnecessary noise. That
includes turning off your cell phone or pager before each class!
Cell
Phone Policy During Exams
The
use and display of cell phones during exams are prohibited.
All cell phones and pagers must be turned OFF and stored out of sight
during an exam. If a student has no
place to store a cell phone or pager, a locked lab desk drawer in the testing
room will be made available for storage of the phone or pager until the end of
the exam. Any student who displays
or uses a cell phone or pager during an exam will be required to sign a form
documenting that they have violated the cell phone use policy.
If any cell phone or pager technique is subsequently found to have been
used to compromise the testing process, the document signed by the student and a
report by the instructor will be sent forward to the division of student affairs
as a violation of the Louisiana Tech Honor Code.
