It is mandatory for students to complete all examination within the given time frame. (If you fail to meet this requirement and fail to officially withdraw from the class will be given a grade of "F".)

While I may elect to withdraw a student due to absences, it is your responsibility to officially withdraw if you cease to attend review session. Any student who does not successfully complete  the course objectives and who has not officially withdrawn from class will be given a grade of "F".

     F =  0  - 59.99%

The examinations are administered in class on the scheduled day.  There will be no retakes of any examination. Each exam will carry 100 points for a total of 300 points. Additional 100 points will be used for homework. Exams plus homework will give a total of 400 points. To earn an “A” grade students must have at least 360 points.
