Grading Policy: Grades will be divided among the various examinations in the following manner:
Vocabulary test (10%) Mid-term I (25%) Mid-term II (25%) Final Exam (30%) Term Paper (10%)
Makeup exams: Please make every effort to take the tests on the scheduled dates. Makeup exams should be taken only under very special circumstances. Please note that the makeup exams may be graded differently, as (by definition) they cannot be incorporated into a "class curve".
Ethical considerations: Unless otherwise stated, all examination answers that are submitted for evaluation are considered to be the sole property and ideas of each individual student. Any student(s) caught copying or cheating will automatically receive zero credit for that particular submission, and possibly be subject to further disciplinary action.
Graduate Students: Graduate Students (6595) will be graded on an entirely different curve than Undergraduate Students (4595), which will be based on test perfromance and their "term paper" submission.
Term Paper : Stay tuned
