Home work and in-class practice: Homework and in-class participation (including attendance, discussion, case study, etc) will be assigned and administered at the discretion of the instructor. Home works are designed to promote class readiness and learning reinforcement. Homework should be typed and all assignments are due at the beginning of class on the designated date. Untyped or late assignment will not be graded.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be given periodically throughout the semester as needed to ensure class participation and homework assignments are complete. .

Exams: There will be one mid-term administered throughout the semester. The final written exam will cover all material covered throughout the semester.

Outside Assignments: These will vary in content and frequency and will be assigned during class to be turned in at the start of the next class period.

Group Project: You will be assigned a group and must work on this project throughout the semester. The purpose of the Group Project is to promote application of the textbook information while working within a team environment.

Attendance Requirement: Attendance and class participation are important for a successful completion of this course. Students are required to attend class. Assignments or tests missed as a consequence of an unexcused and undocumented absence will not be allowed to be “made up”.
Make-up exams will be given only if the absence is due to: (a) medical emergency, (b) participation in college related activities. If a student misses more than 4 scheduled class periods, his/her grade will be reduced by one letter grade. The first day, mid and final exam days are not credited. If you miss a class and an assignment, it is your responsibility to obtain that assignment. Your absenteeism does not relieve you of the assignment and due date. Late assignments will not be accepted. More than two tardies will count as an absence and you will not be allowed to join class.
