Test#2: Thursday, 27 October 2011, 5:30–6:50 P.M. Final: Tuesday, 13 December 2011, 5:30–8:00 P.MAttendance: Attendance in all classes is required. Prior permission is suggested if the student needs to be absent (not too many)Grading: A=90–100% B=80–89% C=70–79% D=60–69%PLAN A Test 1 15% Test 2 15% Final 20% Design Projects 50% PLAN B: (For those who miss a test – not recommended) Maximum of Test 1 and Test 2: 25% Final: 25% Design Projects: 50% Everyone must take the final. Course grades are based on Maximum of Plan A and Plan B, i.e., whichever is higher. 1. No makeup. 2. No incomplete. Grades are based on the student’s performance in the course and nothing else. This includes tests/projects etc based on the grading formula - all described in detail in the course web site. This format is universal and applies equally to all students. Please do not ask 1. “I will do additional work/project etc to improve my course grade after the grades are assigned.”2. My GPA is low and I need an A to avoid probation etc.3. I must graduate this semester and the only way is to get grade A.4. My grades in TPC are low and I need an A. 5. Any other excuse. Final exam papers will not be returned. The student, however, has the right to look at his/herexam paper and discuss it with the instructor. Deadline for this is normally the mid semester ofthe following long semester. Final exam papers will be kept until the mid-semester of thefollowing semester. After this, the course grades are considered to be final. Summer counts as one semester. (No telephone calls or inquiries regarding course grades,please.) Everyone must take the tests and final exam at the same time and at the same place. If youhave any questions on your returned tests, please do so within a week. Per the DE policy, thedistance education students are supposed to have a 24hr window to take their exams. This timeframe is to accommodate working students and students located in different time zones.

Individual instructors retain primary responsibility for assigning grades. Theinstructor's judgment is final unless compelling evidence shows preferential treatment or proceduralirregularities. If students wish to appeal, their requests must be submitted in writing on an AcademicGrievance Form available in departmental or program offices to the department chair or programdirector. Before considering a grievance, the department chair or program director will refer the issueto a departmental or program committee of graduate faculty. If the committee cannot reach adecision acceptable to the parties involved, the department chair or program director will issue adecision on the grievance. If students are dissatisfied with the chair or director's decision, they mayappeal the case to the academic dean. If they are dissatisfied with the academic dean's decision,they may appeal it to the Dean of Graduate Studies. Students have one year from the day gradesare posted to initiate a grievance concerning a grade.Drop Policy: Students may drop or swap (adding and dropping a class concurrently) classesthrough self-service in MyMav from the beginning of the registration period through the lateregistration period. After the late registration period, students must see their academic advisor todrop a class or withdraw. Undeclared students must see an advisor in the University AdvisingCenter. Drops can continue through a point two-thirds of the way through the term or session. It isthe student's responsibility to officially withdraw if they do not plan to attend after registering.Students will not be automatically dropped for non-attendance. Repayment of certain types offinancial aid administered through the University may be required as the result of dropping classesor withdrawing.
