- Student Expectations/Requirements and Grading Policy: Student performance will be evaluated based on class attendance and participation, two exams, exercises and assignments. Each unexcused absence will result in an automatic deduction of 2 percentage points from the Class Attendance grade. The relative weights for each of these components in determining the final grade are as follows:
Class Attendance and Participation 10%
3 Exams 40%
Exercises and Assignments 50%
Total 100%
A grade will be determined based on the total of possible points earned, as follows: A 90-100; B 80-89; C 70-79; D 60-69; F 0-59.
- Assignments, Exams and Tests: See V. above
- Attendance Policy: Course Attendance at First Class Meeting – Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement. Check with the College for specific information. This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.). Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses in these categories by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty. (See USF Regulation – Registration - 4.0101,
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/ogc%20web/currentreg.htm)
Attendance Policy for the Observance of Religious Days by Students: In accordance with Sections 1006.53 and 1001.74(10)(g) Florida Statutes and Board of Governors Regulation 6C-6.0115, the University of South Florida (University/USF) has established the following policy regarding religious observances: (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/acadaf/gc10-045.htm)
In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and department websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information.
Class attendance is not optional. The course moves through the material at a rapid pace, and each topic builds on the ones that preceded it. Catching up is difficult, and attempting to “cram”
the material will surely lead to failure to adequately grasp it. Therefore, students are responsible for their class attendance, and are advised that repeated absences will affect their grades.
- Policy on Make-up Work: Make-up policy will be implemented only under extenuating circumstances, and will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
- Program This Course Supports: Master of Science in Information Technology
- Course Concurrence Information: None
