Grading policy, Professor Stencel, University of Denver

 

Grading is based on several factors, including:

·        25%: Attendance & participation [Atención y participación] (25%)

  • 25%: Homework -- Late papers lose 10% of max value per day late,  and no late papers will be accepted after the last day of classes             [Los últimos papeles pierden el 10% de valor máximo por día tarde]
  • 25%: Weblog/book reports and quizzes
  • 25%: Lab & observing = attendance, participation & write-ups
  • Extra credit options always exist, just ask.  However, these are not a substitute for missed work.

[las opciones adicionales del crédito del · existen siempre, apenas pida. Sin embargo, éstos no son un substituto para el trabajo faltado].

 

SCALE: 90% = A-/B+, 80% = B-/C+, 70% = C-/D+, etc.

Check Blackboard6.du.edu for your current accumulated scores,

BUT…use caution as these might not tell the entire story [e.g. Labs &c].

 

University Honor Code is in effect:  See website www.du.edu/honorcode.

[El código del honor de la universidad está en efecto]

 

As a courtesy, please turn off cell phones during class.  Thanks.

[Como cortesía, dé vuelta por favor apagado a los teléfonos de la célula durante clase. Gracias.]

 

Guarantee: If you will put in at least one hour studying for each hour in class, you can master the subject! 

Example: a 4 credit class ideally means 8+ hours/week commitment to studying (e.g. reading, homework, obs., lab prep, quiz prep, weblogging, etc.) in addition to attending the lectures.  This is why a full-time student with 15 credits should be spending 15 * 3 = 45 hours/week, which is actually a full time job!
