ATTENDANCE:
REGULAR AND PROMPT ATTENDANCE IS A REQUIREMENT OF THIS COURSE.
To encourage this, students will receive six points added to their point total for each complete class attended. Students arriving late or leaving early will have three points added to their point total per class attended.

Students missing class because of illness or required attendance at a college-sponsored event can earn attendance points by one of the following:

1. Provide a written excuse from a doctor.
2. Provide a written excuse from the faculty sponsor.
3. Attend another section of this class when the material missed is being covered.

Students missing more than three (3) classes FOR ANY REASON will be requested to drop the class.

REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR AN ABSENCE, IT IS THE STUDENTS' RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY MISSED AND MAKE IT UP PROMPTLY.

CHEATING: The following items are considered forms of cheating and will result in disciplinary action if they occur during a test or quiz: 1) any discussion with someone other than the instructor; 2) copying from another student's work; 3) the use of any materials other than those specified by the instructor.

GRADING: The student's grade will be determined by their performance on the tests, quizzes, and homework, plus attendance points earned. The quizzes and homework will be weighted so as to equal one, 100 point test. The final letter grades will be based on the total points earned:

A = 930-818          D = 629-555
B = 817-743          E = 554 and below
C = 742-630

W and I
Students withdrawing from this course in the first twelve weeks will be assigned an automatic "W" regardless of the quality of their course work. After twelve weeks a "W" will be assigned only if their course work is passing AT THE TIME OF THE WITHDRAWAL. All other students will be assigned an "E".

A grade of "I" (incomplete) will be assigned to students whose term work is incomplete in a MINOR way. An "I" grade will be reserved for critical situations that arise that are beyond the control of the student, e.g. hospital illness, death in family, etc.

Make-ups will be allowed on all tests but not on quizzes or homework. Missed quizzes or unsubmitted homework will be assigned a score of zero. With regard to make-up tests, (1)
No make-ups will be given during the last week of the semester; (2) make-up tests are usually more difficult and are graded more stringently. For these reasons, it is to the student's advantage to take the tests when they are scheduled, if at all possible.

HOMEWORK: HOMEWORK IS A REQUIREMENT OF THIS COURSE AND IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THIS CLASS. STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS COMPLETED IN A NEAT MANNER BEFORE COMING TO CLASS. Students unable to consistently fulfill this requirement will be requested to drop the class.

COUNSELING: One of the many advantages of MCCC is the easy accessibility of your professors for additional instruction and/or counseling. If you need help, take advantage of this opportunity.
