Lumba Recitation Recitation is voluntary and will comprise 20% of your final grade. The recitation grade will depend on the number of acceptable recitations, as follows: 0=5.0; 1=4.0; 2=3.0; 3=2.75; 4=2.5; 5=2.25; 6=2.0; 7=1.75; 8=1.5; 9=1.25; 10=1.0. You can confirm after each class if your recitation was recorded. Attendance Perfect attendance = +.25 in the final grade. Late = absent. No excused absence for whatever reason. However, you are given 2 absences to use as you wish. Every 2 absences thereafter will result in your final grade being diminished by .125. You can confirm after each class if your attendance was recorded. Quizzes Pre-announced quizzes will comprise 80% of your final grade. Quizzes always cover the subject matter taken up since the start of the semester. The student/s who get the highest point total will receive a quiz grade of 1.0. The others will receive a quiz grade based on a sliding scale of 4% increments. Thus, a student with a point total within 4% of the highest will get a quiz grade of 1.25. 1.0/Finals/Removals Only one student can given a grade of 1.0, except when there is a tie. A grade of 2.5 or better at the end of the semester after taking into account the quizzes, recitation and attendance, will exempt a student from taking the final exam. For those who must take the final exam, the best grade that they can get is a 2.5. No removal examination will be given.
