Grading System: will be based on the following areas: Students’ grades 1. Understanding of class material: During the term, four exams will be administered that account for 45% of the course grade. The exams will consist of multiple-choice questions. Each exam will count as equal weighting towards the final grade. The final examination (4th exam) will not be cumulative but is MANDATORY. Any student not completing the exam will receive a grade of F for the course. 2. Homework Assignments: Students will be required to complete the MH Connect assignments associated with each chapter module covered in class. These questions will be assigned in Blackboard under the Content section and will account for 10% of the course grade. No late extensions will be given. 3. Writing Assignment: A research paper, which will be due on December 3rd, will account for 20% of the course grade. Details will be provided at a later date. 4. Presentation: Students will be required to present a psychological topic/historical study in psychology to the class using power point. The presentation will account for 15% of the course grade. If a student misses their assigned presentation date, they will automatically receive a 0 on the assignment. Presentations may not be made up at a later date. 5. Participation: Students will be required to participate in a group activity for chapters 5, 6, 13, and 15. These activities will account for 10% of the course grade. If students are absent on the dates for these participation activities, they will receive a 0 for the assignment. Attendance: You are expected to have an 85% attendance record. Therefore, attendance will be monitored. If you miss more than 15% of scheduled classes prior to mid semester, it is to fill out the necessary withdrawal forms your responsibility to receive a grade of W. You are responsible for all class announcements, assignments, and lectures, even if that material is not in the text, so you are strongly urged to attend class regularly.
