Grading Policy: Your
course grade will be based on (1) accumulation of total points from exams,
quizzes, homework and outside assignments, (2) meaningful class participation and (3)
work with class projects.
Grades will be determined by taking the highest
student score and then applying grade lines using a 2% incremental standard from
100% based on the average of the three exams in the class.
The usual caveats with respect to this class are the
same as with any UNI course. Students
are expected to be familiar with the rules of the University and College
concerning its academic ethics policy. You
may obtain a copy of this policy through the Undergraduate Programs Office in
Room 321B of the Business Building. With respect to any outside assignments, you
are expected to fully cite the work of others.
Any work turned in for this course whether a regular assignment, or extra
credit project, will be deemed subject to this policy. Failure to fully cite the work of others in an
assignment turned in for this course will result in a class grade of F.
Special Needs Considerations: UNI is an Affirmative Action Equal Opportunity Institution.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provides protection from
discrimination for qualified individuals with disabilities.
Students with a disability, who require assistance, will need to contact
the Office of Disability Services (ODS) for coordination of academic
accommodations. The ODS is located
in 213 Student Services Center. Their
phone number is 319/273-2676.
In the event that you are unable to come to class due to illness, you will be given two class days to complete any assignment that is due. If your sickness lasts more than a week, I will work with you to develop an alternative plan of study to complete this course. On the other hand, as a risk management class, I encourage you to make every effort to reduce the likelihood that you become ill -- get a flu shot, don't stay up too late, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise, also avoid mind altering drugs [which includes alcohol] that impair judgement and reduce the effectiveness of your immune system.
