\newcommand\gradingPolicy{Your final grade will be determined from the following:\\
\\
•	Tests: 40\% (Two tests, the lower is 15\% and the higher is 25\%)\\
•	Homework and Participation: 15\%\\
•	Quizzes: 15\%\\
•	Final Exam: 30\%
\\
\\
Letter grade scale: 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(<60)
\\
\\
\textbf{Quizzes}.  There will be a 10 minute quiz at the beginning of class every week, which will be on Friday except for the weeks when there is a test or holiday, in which case it will be on Wednesday.  Each quiz will cover the material from class, from the reading, and from the homework since the previous quiz.  The quizzes will be closed book, no calculators unless explicitly specified, and no sheet of paper (note sheets).  Make sure you get to class on time. Your top ten quiz scores will count; the quizzes with the lowest grades that you have taken will be dropped. However, if you miss a quiz with an unexcused absence, that zero will count and will not be dropped.  We will be using the Respondus Lockdown browser with Webcam Monitoring (part of Blackboard) for quizzes, so make sure you have a webcam on your computer or iPad that works.
\\
\\
\textbf{Tests}.  The two tests are closed book, no calculators, but a single 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheet of paper with information in your own handwriting will be allowed.  No excuses for missed exams will be accepted other than certified medical excuses.  If your watch stops or your car doesn’t start on the day of a test, the zero you get will be the grade that counts for 15\%.  Makeup tests will not be given.  If the test is moved to a different date, at least one week notice will be given.  We will be using the Respondus Lockdown browser with Webcam Monitoring for tests as well.\\

Test 1	2/16  	Material through 2/12\\
Test 2	4/5   	Material through 3/27\\}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{\textbf{Homework and Participation}.  There are 6 homework assignments, due as listed on the schedule.  Homework submissions are in PDF format only, uploaded to Blackboard.  Late homework will have a 25\% per week day grade deduction. Homework will count for 12\% of the grade.  Weekly Participation Activity problems will be assigned each week on a Monday, due by Friday of that week by midnight.  The problems are interactive online problems in zyBooks, and are marked as a completion grade percentage (out of 100) only. The participation grade counts for 3\% of the grade.}
\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{Attendance is not mandatory except for during quizzes and tests.   Makeups are only give for an excused absence, as described below.

\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then ypu should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).)}}
