Course Evaluation: (i) Exams (4) 75%

(ii) Final 25%

(i) exams: Exams are at 8:00 Ð 8:50 AM Wednesdays, as given in the syllabus. There will be a lecture at the regular time on exam days. ALL 4 EXAMS MUST BE TAKEN as scheduled. There will be no makeup exams given. The lowest of the four exam scores will automatically be replaced by the final exam score if the latter is higher. If you have an acceptable, documented reason for missing an exam, you will be allowed to replace the missed exam with your score on the final. Otherwise, you will receive a "zero" for that exam, that zero will not be replaced by the final, and will be included in the calculation of your final class grade.

(ii) final: The final exam will be comprehensive and cannot be replaced by any other grade, so don't miss it. The time of the final is set in stone by the University (no makeup final will be given).

Attendance: Your attendance and class participation will have an impact on your final grade. Taking an active role in your learning will (guaranteed) help you perform better. And remember: if you end up close to a grade cutoff, class participation will be considered...

Academic honesty: Studying together is encouraged. You really will learn more. Work submitted for grading under your name, however, is assumed to be yours alone. Suspected academic dishonesty will be dealt with through the normal university policies (see your student handbook). If you are found guilty, penalties can range from failing the course to university dismissal.

Miscellany: Cell phone use is not allowed in CHM 1311. Phones are to be turned off upon arrival in class.
