If a student continues to work beyond the allotted time, the test will not be graded and a grade of 0 will be assigned.Make-Up TestsThere are NO make-up tests for any reason. If you miss a test, your grade of 0 on that test can be replaced by your final exam grade. If you do not take the final exam, the grade on a missed test will remain a 0. If you know in advance that you will miss a test, please notify me in advance to see if it is possible to schedule taking the test early. Once a test has been given there are no make-up tests.Final ExamThe final exam is cumulative. Taking the final exam is optional. To do so you must present a valid picture ID. If you present a valid picture ID and receive a final exam paper, you must turn that paper in. Failure to do so will result in a final letter grade of “F” in the course, regardless of your previous grades earned. The final exam grade will replace any and all grades that are lower. Taking the final exam can not hurt your course grade, it can only help it!ExampleTest 1 100Test 2 72Test 3 68Test 4 84Test 5 76Test 6 36Test 7 64Clicker score 50Total 550Average 68.75 DFinal ExamSuppose he makes a 78 on the final exam.ExampleTest 1 100 100Test 2 72 78Test 3 68 78Test 4 84 84Test 5 76 78Test 6 36 78Test 7 64 78Clicker score 50 78Total 550 652Average 68.75 81.5 BTurning TechnologiesThe Turning Technologies system is an interactive learning tool that will be used in each lecture.
