You will complete reading and watching these videosbefore class. We will work on many kinds of assignments in class based on this material. Quizzes: We will work on quizzes that will validate the reading and videos. The grade fromthe quizzes will constitute 10% of the total Assignment grade. Assignments: these fall in two categories:

In-class Assignments: We will discuss topics in class and work on assignments. You will beable to collaborate with your fellow students in order to complete these. Assignments thatcannot be completed in class will be taken out-of-class and turned in. The grade from theseassignments will constitute 30% of the total Assignment grade.Homework Assignments: the purpose of the homework assignments is to give youindividual out-of-class practice on the topics that you are learning, and to explore someideas more deeply. The grade from the homework assignments will constitute 60% of thetotal Assignment grade. All assignments, unless otherwise specified, must be submitted to Blackboard containing yourname, course name, the title of the assignment and the due date. No late assignment will be accepted. No e-mail or in-person submission is accepted. There areno exceptions to this rule. All homework assignments should be the work product of each individual. Cheating occurswhen a student either submits work for a grade that is not entirely due to his/her owneffort or allows others to use her/his work. Cheating occurs when a student submits workproduct that is copied from another student. Cheating on an assignment or exam will resultin a failing grade for the course. No student shall look towards the work of any otherstudent during exams as it shall be construed as cheating. Academic Honor Code: Angelo State University expects its students to maintain completehonesty and integrity in their academic pursuits.

Ifmore than one exam is missed, a grade of zero will be given for the additional missed exam.The final exam must be taken on its assigned date and time. For students taking all three exams,the final exam grade can replace a lower grade on one of the first two exams if the final examgrade is higher. Only one regular exam grade can be replaced in this way.ATTENDANCEAttendance is mandatory (no excused absences).
