Please keep your email address updated at the CourseWare site as this is my favorite way to get in touch with you.Calculators are not allowed. Don’t get dependent by using them on your homework.Cheating won’t be tolerated. See page 8 of the Student Handbook for details.Course Policies Quiz. This is a required quiz on WebCT.

This quiz will be up by the end of the first week of schooland ends at the end of the third week.CourseWare website: www.casa.uh.edu is where you register for tests, check your grades, and have a discussion board for help from other students. Please set up your CourseWare login and password on the first day of classes.Daily poppers will begin on Tuesday, January 30. Short multiple choice questions will beasked throughout the lecture. You will answer them on the purpleScantron you will bring to class (nb: I won’t be supplying ANY Scantrons!). You will turn in the Scantron at the end of lecture. They’ll begraded and shredded, not returned. Grades will be posted twice a month in your CourseWare grade book. Daily poppers are 10% of your grade. There are no make-ups for missed poppers.Dropping You are responsible for making sure you have been successfully dropped from the course. Do not depend on me to drop you for any reason nor should you assume that paperwork will be done for you automatically. Pay attention to drop deadlines and check VIP for your course status. If you want to be dropped, let me know; don’t assume I’m going to do it for you even if you deserve it. Email: The class email list is kept by the CourseWare website people. Make sure your listing is current and that you’ve adjusted your spam filter to allow me to email you. You are responsible for anything I send.Extra Credit Immediately prior to each test there will be a practice test available online.You may take it as many times as you want; 10% of your high score will be added to your test grade. Please make sure to note the date and time that the test will be removed from online – get your extra credit done well before then. Extra credit will be added in at the END of the semester in MY grade book; the only grades posted in your CourseWare grade book will be your actual test scores.Final The final is compulsory and comprehensive. It is 110 minutes long. The final counts 10% of your grade. You must score a 50% on the final to be eligible to pass the course. The final will be taken in our classroom on purple Scantrons.

Making up a test is by petition; see me for the Make-up Test Petition form quickly enough that you can have it returned to me within 5 working days of the end of the testing period. Good documentation is required for a makeup to be permitted; note that a note from your Mom is NOT good documentation. Good documentation includes a copy of your reservation time on CASA; print this out when you make your reservation for your records. Make-ups will be both longer and harder than the original test. You only get one make-up test per semester. Prerequisites noneRescheduling It is technically possible to reschedule a test appointment during the testing period
