penalties my include, but are not limited to, a failing grade for a particular
assignment or a failing grade for the course. Additionally, the student maybe

ADA POLICY
This instructor will make every effort to accommodate any student that requires
special attention or accommodations as specified in written form from the campus

necessary request required by the ADA office. This information is kept confidential
by this instructor and the ADA Office.

METHODS OF INSTRUCTION AND EVALUATION
This class is presented in a lecture format by the instructor. There also maybe the
use of an overhead projector along with power-point presentations when necessary.
All evaluations will be done by either questions to students in class or student
participation (no points assigned). Final evaluations of project, problems and exams
are scored relative to their weighted percentages of the numerical grade received on
the work turned in. [Numerical grade x weighted % = number of points AND the
points assigned to the problems and attendance. EX: A grade of 78 on the midterm:
78 x .20 = 15.6 points OR 53 on the final exam: 53 x .20 = 10.6 points.]
