NOTES:
A. Tests are of equal value and objective (True-False; Multiple Choice; Matching, etc.). There will be 50 items. You MUST furnish your own Brown SCANTRON Form 2052 answer sheet (available for purchase at the Bookstore) and a #2 pencil since your answer sheet will be machine scored. Adherence to the instructions is expected (i.e., name, date, test number, form letter, extraneous marks, etc.), with a point penalty per test for non-compliance. ERASURES MUST be initialed by the instructor. Correct answers will be given immediately following test administration. Use the attached KEEPER ANSWER SHEET to record your answers for later comparison.
B. The lowest score will be dropped from consideration of final grades. This includes a missed test (which is recorded as a zero).
C. No makeup tests will be permitted.
D. Grades are based on the TOTAL points accumulated on five (5) of the six (6) tests.
E. Assignment of grades will be as follows:
A: 225 & above
B: 200 - 224
C: 175 - 199
D: 150 - 174
F: 149 & below
F. It is your responsibility to stay informed, attend class, observe the films, participate in discussions and other spontaneously announced assignments or events, and take tests at scheduled times.
G. If you are experiencing difficulty, please consult your instructor with sufficient time to remedy the problem. H. Remember, each week of classes represents almost three (3) weeks of content material from a regular semester. Lectures/discussions are based on the text, but are viewed as additional, supplementary, and can be contradictory.
