EVALUATION:

Source	Option Impact	Points/Effort	Total Points
Five Tests*	1	75 pts	375 pts
One "small" project**	3	75 pts	75 pts
Five Quizzes***	3	10 pts	50 pts
Five Participations***	3	5 pts	25 pts
Three In-Class Activities***	3	25 pts	75 pts
Final Exam*	1	150 pts	150 pts
Total			750 pts

* No Make-ups (No exceptions!) - also must be taken at the assigned time in the appropriate room (test rooms will be provided at a later date)

** Late points will be assessed

*** No Make-ups (other than make-up day) and you must actively participate for the entire period (quiz and participation will occur during the same session)

Your final grade will be based out of 750 possible points and on one of the following three options. The computer will pick what option is best for you at the end of the semester. Please remember that there are NO make-ups with the tests, the activities, and the in-class participation sessions, including the quizzes. If you are ill or are unable to take a test or participate in an activity, you will need to consider using the appropriate drop option. Any extenuating circumstances will be resolved with negotiations around the final examination only.

Option 1: Drop your lowest test score and count your final out of 225 points (i.e., Multiply your score on the final by a factor of 1.5)
Option 2: Keep all five test scores and have the final count out of 150 pts
Option 3: Have the combined score of the projects, activities, and in-class participation (including quizzes) now count as a percentage out of 150 points (i.e., Multiply this combined score by a factor of .667 ) while keeping all five test scores and having the final count out of 225 points (multiply the final by a factor of 1.5)
