Grading: overall percentage 100 90 % 89 80 % 79 70% 69 60 % 59 and below Letter grade A B C D F

The percent that you view in Gradebook in Laulima is not the percentage that your final grade will be based on. The percentage that is in Gradebook in Laulima is b ased on the tests, quizzes and exams that you complete, therefore if you miss a test, quiz or exam the percentage shown will not reflect the incomplete. Example: If you take quiz 1 and score 1 out of 1, and miss quiz 2 and therefore score 0 out of 1, the percentage viewed in Gradebook will be 100%, but your final grade would be based on 50%.

There will be no extra credit work to bring up grades, so please do well from beginning to end. Available HELP for preparing for tests and exam:
1. Ms Tomosada If you have questions please see me during my office hours Or email me at atomosad@hawaii.edu. When emailing questions: From the textbook, include, problem number and actual problem. Example: 1.7 Write the measurements in scientific notation; a. 55000m

From the Course Materials on Laulima, include the chapter section, slide #, and the actual problem. Example: 2.7 #6 How many min in 2.5 hrs? If you email questions close to the day of the deadline of a test, you may not get a response in time so you must prepare for the test ahead of time. If this should happen, it is not a legitimate excuse for taking the test late.

MATH/SCIENCE DEPARTMENT POLICY ON WITHDRAWALS (W GRADES) AND INCOMPLETE (I GRADE): 1. WITHDRAWALS (W GRADES) After the last day of withdrawals April 2, 2012, the instructor will sign withdrawals only in cases of extreme or unusual circumstances. Grade related excuses are unacceptable. Examples of extreme or unusual circumstances are: 1. a certified medical reason 2. a death in the immediate family Students who no longer attend class and who DO NOT OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW from the course will receive F grades. 2. INCOMPLETE (I GRADE) Students must present the Request for Incomplete form prior to the last day of instruction. I grades will be given only to students who are achieving passing grades and are very close to completing the course. In addition, the student must have a very good reason for not being able to complete all the work on time. Examples of good reasons are the same as those listed under the withdrawal policy above. KAPIOLANI COMMUNITY COLLEGE POLICY: 1. Kapiolani Community Collage is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Institution. 2. Extended time in a distraction-free environment is an appropriate accommodation based on a student's disability. If you do have a disability and have not voluntarily disclosed the nature of your disability and the support you need, you are invited to contact the Special Student Services Office, 734-9552 (V/TTY), Ilima 105, for assistance.

3. Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. If a student is unable to attend class, he or she should contact the instructor in advance to give notification of the absence and make necessary arrangements. 4. For those students who receive financial aid and fail to attend the first week of classes without making arrangements with the instructor, the instructor will submit the students name to the Financial Aid Office. The student will be denied financial aid for the class he/she is not attending. In addition, it is solely the students responsibility to withdraw from the class or attend the class and pay the tuition. TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION DEVICES: These devices are not allowed in the classroom. Please see to it that these devices are turned off while in class. UH POLICY ON EMAIL COMMUNICATION: The electronic communications policy adopted in December 2005 establishes the University of Hawai'i Internet service as an official medium for communication among students, faculty, and staff. Every member of the system has a hawaii.edu address, and the associated username and password provide access to essential Web announcements and email. You are hereby informed of the need to regularly log in to UH email and Web services for announcements and personal mail. Failing to do so will mean missing critical

information from academic and program advisors, instructors, registration and business office staff, classmates, student organizations, and others.

In instructional activities, the student is responsible for meeting all of the instructor's attendance and assignment requirements. Failure to do so may affect his/her final grade. In all college-related activities, including instruction, he/she must abide by the college's conduct codes and regulations, refraining from behavior that interferes with the rights and safety of others in the learning environment. Finally, if he/she decides to file a grievance, he/she is fully responsible for providing proof that he/she has been wronged.
