evaluation, theory assignment and written assignment grades. These
will be administered to examine the student’s competence on
material covered in both the curriculum and students research.

students will contract with the instructor to ensure efficient use
of time. The students will be required to accomplish a

3. All
assignments must be turned in on time. If any assignment does not
meet the standards outlined in class, it will not be accepted. Any
assignment not turned in within the allotted amount of time will
be assessed a 20 point penalty.
4. Daily
grade (class participation) is assessed by time sheet and will
count for 15% of the grade.
5. There
will be a number of homework assignments, term papers, technical
papers, etc. These reports have a grading percentage listed in the
course grading outline below.
