The grading scale for each element of the course, and the course overall is as follows:A: 93-100; A-: 90-92;B+: 87-89; B: 83-86; B-: 80-82;C+: 77-79; C: 73-76; C-: 70-72;D+: 67-69; D: 63-66; D-: 60-62;F: 0-59When I compute a course grade, after averaging scores on individual class components, anyresulting value that is not an integer will be rounded (up or down) to the nearest integer. A scoreexactly between two integers (e.g., 72.500) will be rounded up.University Attendance Policy: Excused absences include documented illness, deaths in thefamily and other documented crises, call to active military duty or jury duty, religious holy days,and official University activities. These absences will be accommodated in a way that does notarbitrarily penalize students who have a valid excuse. Consideration will also be given tostudents whose dependent children experience serious illness.Policy on Exams: All exams (midterm and final) will consist of multiple choice and true/falsequestions. You will mark all answers on a “bubble sheet” using a #2 pencil. Since pencilpoints sometimes break, you are responsible for bringing three sharpened pencils to eachexam.If you have an excused absence (see the definition in the above section) that requires you tomiss one of the midterm exams, or the final exam, notify me as soon as possible. Unless you arephysically unable to do so, you must notify me prior to the exam or you will receive a score ofzero. Having notified me, also contact the Office of the Dean of Students:Dean of Students4th Floor of the University Center- Building A, Suite 4100Ph.#: (850) 644-2428Email: kkincey@admin.fsu.eduHours: M-F, 8:00 am – 5:00 pmThis office will validate your circumstances and provide me with any documentation needed topermit a make-up of the exam.All make-up exams will be held during the University designated make-up exam block in finalsweek, i.e., 5:30-7:30 pm or 8:00-10:00 pm on Friday, December 16.To schedule a make-up exam you need to email me between December 5 and December 10 andlet me know that you wish to schedule a make-up for a specific exam. I will then contact all ofthe folks who need to make up a given exam and I will select the 5:30 or 8:00 pm start time forthat make-up. We will meet at my office: 547 Bellamy.Policy on Problem Sets: The problem sets will focus on technical skills—in particular, getting acomputer to calculate statistics. Problem sets will be posted on the BB site for the course when2
the course material necessary to do the problems has been completed. After posting, you will begiven five days to complete the assignment and submit your answers at the BB site. Since no“make-ups” will be permitted for problem sets, you are encouraged to do each assignment assoon as it becomes available so that an illness on the due date does not prevent you fromcompleting an assignment. Moreover, for some problem sets, delaying completion until the duedate will mean completing the problem set after an exam for which the problem set would beuseful preparation.Policy on Missed Class Lectures: Any student with an excused absence from a class session thatis documented by the Dean of Students (as described above) will be provided, upon request, withskeletal notes on any topics introduced in class that are not discussed thoroughly in coursereadings. Then the student can ask me questions about the notes by coming to my office duringoffice hours or by scheduling an appointment.Syllabus Change Policy: Except for changes that substantially affect implementation of theevaluation (grading) statement, this syllabus is a guide for the course and is subject to changewith advance notice.Academic Honor Policy: The Florida State University Academic Honor Policy outlines theUniversity's expectations for the integrity of students' academic work, the procedures forresolving alleged violations of those expectations, and the rights and responsibilities of studentsand faculty members throughout the process.
