There are NO makeup exams.

FINAL EXAM: 5:30-7:30pm, Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Same room.
EXAMS: Exams are listed on this syllabus and will cover chapters indicated. Exams contain multiple choice questions. The final exam is comprehensive.
Since this is an internet class, exams have to be graded by hand. I will post the grades for each of the exams on this site as quickly as I can get them graded.
To aid the grading process, follow these steps: Put your name and a special code on the exams. I need your name for the grade book, I need a special code, one about four digits long, one that you make up, to post your grade on the site. You can then identify your score by your special code. Only you and I will know your code, I cannot post grades by name or student number.

Since the final is comprehensive, you may "drop" your lowest exam grade. You may not drop the final. You may not be exempt from the final. You may not "make-up" a missed exam, use the missed exam as the "drop."

GRADING:
90 – 100% = A
80 – 89 = B
70 – 79 = C
60 – 69 = D
0 – 59 = F

I do NOT curve scores

EXAM VALUES:
Exam 1 = 25%
Exam 2 = 25%
Exam 3 = 25%
Exam 4 = 25%
Final Exam = 25%
