Grading Policy: As noted above, there will be three mid-term exams: the third exam
will be given during the Final Exam period but will not be cumulative. Your ultimate
grade will be based upon these examinations in the following manner:
Mid-term I = 31%
Mid-term II = 31%
Final Exam = 31%
WileyPlus homework = 7%
100%
No exams will be dropped; if you miss a mid-term exam with a legitimate excuse,
we will make every attempt to provide a makeup; documentation is required, please
see me to make arrangements. If you miss the final with a legitimate excuse, you may
need to take an incomplete for the course.
Valid excuses for missing an exam include illness, death of a close family
member, and Acts of God (lightning strikes your car on the way to the exam). Going
to Hawaii for your best friends wedding is not a valid excuse!
Academic Integrity:
Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally
accountable for all submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own
is always wrong. Faculty are required to report any suspected instances of academic
dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. For more comprehensive information on
academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the
academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/
Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property
of other people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of Judicial Affairs any
disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the
learning environment, or inhibits students' ability to learn.
