Discrepancies with all graded material must be handled within one week of return of the item. Failure do so in this time period forfeits your right to contest the grade you received.

Homework (15%) The homework will be completed online using the WebAssign program which you can access via Blackboard. Content will be assigned on a weekly basis. All online assignments from a given week will be due the Day of the next Quiz or Test. Please check for due date on the WebAssign site which you can access via BB. Stating you did not know about an assignment is not acceptable. You will have 5 attempts for each online homework problem until the deadline to improve your score. Thus, it is my expectation that you should be able to achieve a 100% or near-to on your homework.

Quizzes (15%) Quizzes must be completed online within the WebAssign Program which you can access via Blackboard. There will be a Quiz assigned before each Blackboard Unit Test. The Quiz will cover the same material as the homework from that week. You will receive immediate feedback on your progress and have only 3 attempts to answer the Question correctly.

Tests (70%) All exams will be taken at a designated DMACC Testing Center site. Tests must be

Proctored.

Tests must be completed online within the WebAssign Program which you can access via Blackboard. You will have 2 attempts for each Question. Please refer to the Calendar for Testing Dates. If illness or an emergency prevents you from attending an examination, you must notify the instructor prior to the completion of the exam. Failure to do so will automatically result in a zero on that exam. If approved, you will only be able to make up one exam. There are no Test Retakes. There will be a 10% deduction on the makeup test, A request to make up an exam must be made via e-mail to the instructor within 24 hours of the initial scheduled exam date.
