C+ 77-79 F Below 60
All ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAMS ARE FOUND ON THE HOMEPAGE OF THE CONNECT SITE
Homework:
The Homework assignments are kinesthetic in nature. YOU have 3 attempts and you can "check your work" (It will not tell you the correct answer, only your wrong answers. You can only use it 2 times per question). During the Homework Assignment, you can also receive “hints” by rolling your cursor over the blank entry box. You can also be referenced/remediated back
to both the written text and the eBook via the “References” and “Related links” hyperlinks at the bot
tom of the page. Only your HIGHEST SCORE will be counted
towards your final grade. There is a due date
for each Homework assignment. NOTE: Assignment due dates will not be extended.
NOTE: I will drop 2 of the lowest or missed quizzes.
SmartBook/Learnsmart:
I have also included LearnSmart assignments. These assignments accomplish two things. They will not only assess your knowledge, they will serve as a personal “tu
tor.”. It is an artificial intelligence that adapts
to your per
formance (There
fore, you should have READ THE CHAPTER and completed the HOMEWORK first!!!). It will not permit you
to progress from Bloom’s Level 1 (Rote memorization)
to Bloom’s Level 2 (Understanding), unless you have mastered the concepts first. When you struggle with a concept, and miss multiple questions quizzing that concept, you will be given feedback and be directed
to the exact section/page in the text
for review. No credit will be given
to late assignments. NOTE: Assignment due dates will not be extended.
NOTE: I will drop 2 of the lowest or missed Smartbook/Learnsmart/Assignments.
Exams:
There will be 3 lecture exams based on materials from Chapters covered.
Lecture exam questions will draw from the pool of Practice exam questions, as well as HW, LS, quizzes, chapter power points, and may include materials covered in the virtual labs.
Students are required
to submit the exam by the designated due date. NO credit will be given
for late submissions. There will be a strict time limit when taking exams. Makeup of exams is not allowed. Requirement
for this class is a computer with a camera and google chrome
to be used during exams. Exams taken without the use of a camera will result in a failing grade.
Make sure you are WELL PREPARED, be
fore you attempt them.
Note these are timed assignments.
Practice Lecture Exams:
Students should familiarize themselves with the material posted on the practice exams
to prepare
for their exams.
They will only be available prior
to the scheduled exam date. NOTE: Lecture exam questions will draw from the pool of Practice exam questions, as well as HW, LS, quizzes, chapter power points, and may include materials covered in the virtual labs.

Students are required
to submit the test by the designated due date. No credit will be given
for late submissions. There will be a strict time limit when taking exams. Requirement
