Grades are based on
performance by the student in the classroom and laboratory as shown through
tests, oral responses and other class work, outside assignments, experiments,
term papers, other acceptable academic procedures and final examinations. The
grade is intended to reflect student progress toward objectives of the course.
Each student, including a
candidate for graduation, is required to take final examinations in courses
each semester in accordance with the published final exam schedule. No
instructor shall deviate from the published schedule of final exams for a class
or individual student without the written approval of the division chair.
