Grading Policy
Please
note:
Any students with disabilities or other
special needs, who need special accommodations in this course, are invited to
share these concerns or requests with the instructor as soon as possible.
Student
evaluation:
Half-hour exams will be given every two
weeks. The tests will be combinations
of types of questions which may include short answer, problems, multiple
choice, and fill in the blank questions, depending on what works best for the
material covered. Quizzes of 10 pts each may be given throughout the
semester and may be either announced or unannounced. Quizzes will be given if
attendance is low. There are sample
tests on the Ag & Biosystems Engr. web site under my name. The quizzes will
draw from the same question styles as the major exams. The
final exam will be comprehensive.
There is no makeup for missed quizzes. The lowest quiz grade or missed quiz will be
dropped. A missed test may be made up if taken in a reasonable time frame and
arrangements have been made. The
instructor is the final judge of exceptions.
The student is responsible to obtain missed notes and handouts from classmates or to visit the instructor to obtain these materials. Be sure to find someone in class that you know and can get the notes and information from.
Laboratory report, if needed, requirements
will be discussed during the first laboratory period. Laboratory reports will be due one week after the laboratory
exercise is completed. Reports are to be typed or LEGIBLY hand written in ink.
A straight grading system, consisting
of A => 90%, B => 80%, C =>
70%, and D => 60%, will be used. The
breakdown of the grading system for this course is shown below:
