In Class Homework - 7 @ 2.5% ........ .17.5% |
Exams 3 @ ~ 25.83%.......................77.5% |
Assessment Exam ..................................2.5% |
Final Exam ....................................2.5% |
In-class homework problems are required to be completed during class and will make up the 17.5% of the course grade allocated above. In-class homework can not be made up; therefore, if you know you will be gone on the day the In-class homework is to be completed, you must contact me before that date.
The exams will cover material from the text and my lectures. The problems on the exams will be similar to the homework problems. Missed exams will receive a zero grade. Please make prior arrangements if an exam will be missed.
Final grades will be assigned by letter and will be derived approximately from the grading percentages shown above roughly following the standard four point A, B, C, D, F scale. However, I will assign grades on individual assignments according to a +/- scale (A = 4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B = 3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C = 2.0, C-=1.7, D = 1.0, F = 0.0). Roughly the following grade cut-offs will be used: 3.49 and above = A, 2.6 up to 3.49 = B, 1.7 up to 2.6 = C. Percentage scores will not be assigned.
Academic Integrity: Any academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade and appropriate university disciplinary actions taken. Please do your own work. If you do not understand the academic integrity policy of the ECU Decision Sciences Department please see the instructor.
Attendance: Timely attendance is the responsibility of the student. However, any student missing substantial class time will receive a failing grade. In addition, students missing the In-class homeworks will receive zeros for that assignment.
Suggestions: To do well in this class the following hints might help.
1. Do the homework - correct or incorrect, effort will be rewarded.
2. Work with others - feel free to discuss problems and methodology on homeworks, outside of class, and/or during class*.
3. Ask the instructor for help.
4. Attend class.
* Exams are individual assignments and are expected to be completed without collaboration or discussion with any other student.
