Given the large number of emails that we receive this allows us to give our online students first priority.
Direct your concerns to “FACULTY” and one of us will try to answer you within 24 hours, Monday
through Friday.
Office Hours are posted in our ANGEL site. During this time I will be available online for
discussion, questions, and other class-related help. In addition to these times, I will check my
email intermittently throughout the day. It is reasonable to assume I will answer all messages
within a business day (24 hours). As an accelerated version of Psych 244, the class has quite a
rigorous schedule. My primary goal is to support you in this class. Please feel welcome to contact
me with any questions you may have. Brent
The Grading Scale
GRADE
4
PERCENTAGE SCORE
90 % to 100 %
POINTS
309-345
Note: Students who score the
minimum number of points for
a grade rejoice that they "just
3.5 85 % to 89 % 292-308
made it." Unfortunately,
sometimes a score is at the
3 80 % to 84 % 275-291
very top of the range. The only
points available are earned
2.5 75 % to 79 % 258-274
through assignments listed in
the syllabus. There are no
2 70 % to 74 % 240-257 ways to get more points after
the final, so please don't
1.5 65 % to 69 % 223-239 contact us asking for a way to
1 60 % to 64 % 206-222
do an extra assignment if you
are a point away from the next

grade!
The grades in this course are based on performance, not on effort.
If earning a particular grade is very important to you (for example, if you are on academic probation or if
a certain grade is required to participate in sports or to graduate) then make sure that you do everything
in your power throughout the semester to earn as many points as possible on the graded activities.
Please don’t ask us to raise your grade at the end of the semester because you are only a point or two
away from the grade that you wanted.
