You will generally have 1 week to complete your OpenLab assignments. Grades for OpenLab assignments will sometimes be checkmarks and sometimes a score between 0 and 10 depending on the type of assignment. You can check the scores of your OpenLab assignments in the OpenLab Gradebook widget which can be found in the right-hand column towards the bottom. You must become a member of our site in order to view your grades.
Exams (30%): There will be 2 exams during the semester (not including the final). No makeup exams will be given. If you miss an exam for a valid reason, your final exam score will take the place of the missing exam.
Final Exam (25%): A final exam is given on the last day of class covering all topics. The final exam must be taken to pass the course.
All exam scores will consist of two components:
WeBWorK exam 50%, Written work 50%
WeBWorK exam: An exam in WeBWorK will be made available on the designated exam day.
Written work: Worked out solutions to the WeBWorK exam problems must be submitted in order to receive credit for the exam. These written solutions may be handwritten on paper and scanned into a single pdf document. The pdf of your written work must be submitted through Blackboardby the close time of the exam. Points will be taken off for every minute the pdf is late.
