Grading

The final grade will be the weighted average of class participation (20%), quizzes (10%), a midterm (30%), and a final examination (40%). While not required, attendance is strongly recommended. The homework sets must be delivered to me in printed copy at the beginning of class (neither electronic drafts nor later work will be considered under any circumstances).

The grading scale is as follows:

A+: 97-100%; A: 92-96%; A-: 88-91%; B+: 84-87%; B: 80-83%; B-: 76-79%; C: 70-75%; F:<70%.

Academic integrity

George Mason University’s Honor Code requires all community members to maintain the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity. Cheating, plagiarism, lying, and stealing are all prohibited. Honor Code violations will be reported to the Honor Committee. Plagiarism is not accepted (statements from Macon web site: http://mason.gmu.edu/montecin/plagiarism/htm#plagiarism). The use of electronic devices is prohibited during an exam or a quiz; failure to comply with this will result in your failure of the assignment and potentially the failure of the class. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the GMU Honor Code, which is stated in the George Mason University Undergraduate Catalog.
