TESTS: 6 tests are given as shown on this Course Syllabus Link for 100 points each and a comprehensive final for 200 points. No make-up tests may be taken. A missed test is a zero test score and late assignments result in loss of points. Tests are graded and returned as soon as possible but certainly less than a week. Two 100% correct Gateway Properties Tests are required to pass this class.

A for 90 points or above,
B for 80 to 89 points,
C for 70 to 79 points,
D for 50 to 69 points, and
F for under 50 points.

FINAL EXAM: Monday, May 9, 2011, starting at 5:00 p.m. for Sec. 650 lasting for 110 min.
Over THREE class absences during the semester will result in a course grade of F. Two times tardy or two times missing some part of class counts as an absence.
