Exam Deadlines: mark these dates on your calendar!!!!
**Please read this entire page closely.
Test 1: Monday, June 10
Test 2: Monday, July 8
Test 3: Monday, July 29
Important Note: If you take any of the exams ON or BEFORE the above deadlines,
I will curve your grade five points for each exam you complete
on or before this deadline. This does not apply to the retests.
The deadlines are there for your benefit not only for the free points, but also
so you will not get behind in the course. I highly suggest you take the exams
by these deadlines. There is almost 500 pages of readings plus 13 hours of videos
for this course and getting behind usually results in either you dropping the
course or making a very poor grade.
These are the exam deadlines, but I give a short grace period. You can take the
exams within this period without penalty. If you take them outside this period,
then the penalty listed below will incur - no exceptions. The
following gives the dates for the end of the exam grace period. Once the grace
period is over, your exam grade will be penalized.
Grace Period Ends
Test 1: Friday, June 14
Test 2: Friday, July 12
Test 3: Friday, August 2
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you take the exam after the grace period ends, your
grade for that specific exam will be penalized five (5) points for each day you
are late. There are NO exceptions to this rule.
Even circumstances beyond your control will not exempt you from the per day penalty.
Don't wait until the last moment. Procrastination on your part, does not constitute
any grounds for an exception. In addition, students who wait until the last minute
to take the exams, usually do about 10 points worse than those who have paced
themselves and kept up.
Final Retest Deadline: Monday, July 22
Remember, retests are not given at all the campuses, see Course Requirements
Last Day to Withdraw: Wednesday, July 31
I do not withdraw students. If you plan on dropping the course, don't forget this deadline
It takes an average of a week for me to receive your exam through campus mail
and for me to grade the exam. If you leave me a self-addressed stamped envelope
or attach one to your exam I will mail your exam to you as soon as I grade it.
Otherwise, you should log into Blackboard about seven to ten days after you
take the exam and check the Grade Book. Your exam grade will be posted.
