A grade
in this class will be obtained through the point system outlined above;
414 for an "A," 405 for a "A-"...
If you
write a higher percentage score on the final exam than on the midterm
exams, the final exam percentage will be used as a score for all three
term exams (see Grade Sheet). There is nothing to sign-up for. It is an
automatic win-win situation. This is a mechanism which gives students who
experienced educational difficulty during the term for any reason a chance
to demonstrate that they have mastered the material and to profit from
that mastery. There are no "make-up exams," "early exams," "alternate
exams," "extra-credit assignments," or "deals." If you miss Exam 1 or
Exam 2 due to a choice or unavoidable event, the above mechanism will be
used. If you were sick during Exam 1 but took the exam, know that you can
ace the Final Exam and still earn an "A" in CH 122. If you score 96 on
Exam 1 and 100 on Exam 2, know that you need master a small amount of new
material to perform excellent on the cumulative final exam to maintain
your "A."
You
cannot reschedule the final exam. Asking instructors to allow you to take
the final exam at another time will only diminish morale.
A
minimum score of 70% of the laboratory points is required for a D- or
higher in CH 122.

OWL Introductions 1, 2, and 3 are assigned to help
guarantee that your computer has the software to complete the OWL
assignments. You may have already completed these assignments in CH
121, but please complete these exercises to confirm that your software
is current. Including the three introduction assignments, 68 OWL
question sections are assigned. These assignment sets range from one
to several questions. These are in the form of tutorials,
simulations, and homework questions. A green check mark appears in
the Assignment column when you master a section. You may repeat these
indefinitely to earn credit if you did not master them initially. A
student will earn 30 course points (full credit) for mastering between
50 and 68 assignments. A student will earn 20 points for mastering
between 40 and 49 assignments. A student will earn 10 points for
mastering between 30 and 39 assignments. All OWL assignments are due
Wednesday, June 4, 2008. They will be accepted until Friday, June 6,
2008 for full credit. At 4:00pm on Friday, June 6 the scores will be
downloaded into a worksheet and it will not be possible to accept late
work beyond June 6. |
