IV. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures: (85% minimum – with the final counting 20% minimum)
Students are evaluated primarily on the basis of tests and a final exam. A minimum of 3 tests
and the final exam are suggested. In addition, instructors may consider using quizzes,
homework, or other assignments for assessment as deemed appropriate.
B. Laboratory Expectations:(15% minimum)
Instructor should use MyMathLab to investigate and analyze data in support of classroom
lectures.
C. Other Evaluation Methods:
None
D. Grading Scale (any differences will be provided in writing by the instructor)
A = 92 - 100
B = 82 - 91
C = 72 - 81
D = 62 - 71
F = Below 62

V. Policies:
A. Attendance Policy:
Attendance is of utmost importance in study abroad courses. There are no unexcused
absences permitted. Unexcused absences are grounds for removal from the program. Being
in class on time is also very important. Frequent tardiness will be considered an absence and
appropriate action will be taken. Absences due to illness must be reported immediately to the
program director.
B. Academic Dishonesty:
Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is
subject to disciplinary action. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following
practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material,
people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving
problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary
sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the
authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course.
VI. Instructional Hours:
Instructional time spent in a formal classroom setting with occasional lab/calculator work.
