| A class like this usually requires a end of semeter project. I am not a big believer in the big project at the end of the semeter approach. In place of the big project I have put together a series of assignments which together equal a big project. There is an assignment due each week, if you keep up with the assignments they will not take much time to complete. The assignments will the require the use of a computer, all assignments will be turned in electronically.If you have a computer you can do your assignments at home. If not you need to arrange to use the computers in the library. All assignments are due the week after they are listed above. Late assignments lose 10% of their value for each week they are late. Reading should be done before the class they are listed for above. All assignments and several other useful items can be found on my website at http://www.nicoleanddebbie.com/classes/cor |
| Grading Policy: | |
| Your grade in this class is determined by: your lab assignments, Mid term and the test at the end of the class. | |

| I will post quizzes for each chapter, they are a great tool to use to prepare for the Mid Term and Final. If you do all the quizzes (And I receive them all), You may drop the two lowest scores and use the remaining average to replace your choice of the mid term or the final. |
