• 3. Your final grade will simply be an average
  of the total points you acquire from the total
  points possible. E.g. If there are 1000 points
  possible and you acquire 940 points or 94 your
  final grade will be a straight A. If you
  acquire 900 points or 90 your final grade will
  be an A- etc.
• 4. There are no make-ups on any assignment,
  unless it is for an officially excused absence.
  Then the makeup must be completed within the next
  week of class.
• There are a total of 24 chapters in the text,
  therefore we will cover a different chapter
  nearly every class period.
