For each course credit students should expect to spend an additional one to two hours outside of class studying or working on class assignments. Hence, for a three-credit course, this means about six hours per week; three hours in class and three hours doing homework and reading. Students that do not schedule a time every week to work on assignments will likely have difficulty keeping up in class. Students should pay attention to the late assignment policy for each class.
Evaluation Procedures and Grading Criteria: Grading at LCOOCC is based on your level of achievement on papers, projects and examinations. The level of proficiency achieved will be indicated by the following letter grades for each academic level. There is addition information in the Student Handbook.
Grades are based on total points earned through 12 assignments, 3 quizzes, a Midterm examination, a Final Examination, and a student project. There are 250 points available in this class. A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%, C = 70-79%, D = 60-69%, F = 59% and below. "D" grades do not transfer to other institutions.
