Assessments: Assessments for the class will include two proctored, in person exams.
The first exam will be comprehensive over the first half of the class
and the second exam will cover the material covered in the second half
of the class. The two exams must be taken at a testing center so that
they can be proctored. The exams will be closed book. Early in the
semester we will work out where you are going to take the proctored
exams. If you take the exams at any of Yavapai College’s testing
centers the proctoring will be free. If you are in a location that
requires a non Yavapai College affiliated testing center you may have
to pay a small fee to take the exams. (Usually about 15 dollars) You
are responsible for this fee to take the exams. Every effort will be
made to find a free testing center. There will be 6 online quizzes
covering the lecture and lab material. The questions on the quizzes
will be similar, but not identical, to those found on the exams. The
point of the quizzes is to prepare you for the types of questions you
will see on the exams. Lab activities will be fully online. There will
be 8 different activities and you will have a week to complete each
activity.
Letter Grades: A = 900 – 1000 pts. B = 800 – 899 pts. C = 700 – 799 pts. D = 600 –
699 pts. F ≤ 698 pts.
Labs: Labs will be graded based on the quality and completeness of the lab
assessments.
Quizzes: The quizzes will cover the material covered in both the lecture and lab
portion of the class.
Exams: There will be two exams worth 200 points each throughout the semester.
The first exam will be comprehensive over the first half of the class and
the second exam will be comprehensive over the second half the class.
The second exam will not cover material covered in the first half of the
class.
Absences: There are no make-ups allowed for labs or quizzes. Exams can be made
up with instructor permission only. If the student misses an exam the
excuse must be accompanied by documentation. (ie, Doctor’s excuse)
