SUMMER 2003 SYNOPSIS

YOUR CHEM 1412 LECTURE GRADE WILL BE CALCULATED FROM 5 TESTS

WORTH 100 POINTS EACH PLUS 10 HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS WORTH

10 POINTS EACH, FOR A TOTAL OF 600 POINTS, CONSTITUTING 75 % OF

YOUR  CHEM 1412 GRADE. 90%=A; 80%=B; 70%=C; ETC.TESTS WILL BE

GIVEN IN THE TESTING CENTER ABOUT  ONE WEEK AFTER THE MATERIAL

HAS BEEN COVERED IN CLASS. ONE RETEST PER UNIT WILL BE ALLOWED

IF TAKEN ON OR BEFORE THE DEADLINE, PROVIDED THAT NO MORE

 THAN 2 RETESTS MAY BE TAKEN FOR AN "A", NO MORE THAN 3 FOR

A "B", ETC. RETEST GRADE WILL COUNT EVEN IF LOWER THAN ORIGINAL.

RETESTS MAY NOT BE TAKEN ON THE SAME DAY AS THE ORIGINAL TEST.

(ORIGINAL) TESTS TAKEN AFTER THE DEADLINE WILL REQUIRE A

PERMISSION SLIP AND MAY ACCRUE A PENALTY OF 5 POINTS PER CLASS

DAY. THE NUMBEROF LATE TESTS MAY LIMIT YOUR FINAL GRADE IN THE

SAME MANNER AS RETESTS. ALTHOUGH THE TESTS ARE IN THE MULTIPLE

CHOICE FORMAT, ALL SCRATCH WORK MUST BE TURNED IN, SHOWING ALL

FORMULAS AND STARTING VALUES. DISHONESTY ON TESTS, INCLUDING

POSSESSION OF UNAUTHORIZED MATERIAL IN THE TESTING CENTER, WILL

RESULT IN THE GRADE OF "F". HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE DUE ON

THE FIRST CLASS DAY FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE UNIT, AND MUST BE

TURNED IN DIRECTLY TO ME. LATE HOMEWORKS WILL BE DISCOUNTED UP TO

2 POINTS PER CLASS DAY. ASSIGNMENTS Ia - IVb WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
