Grading Scale:
- The following represents the approximate grading scale to be used in this course. A >=900 (90%+) B >=800 - <900 (from 80% to 89.9%) C >=650 - <800 (from 65% to 79.9%) D >=500 - <650 (from 50% to 64.9%) F <500 (less than 50%)
- Grading example:
- Suppose the following are the scores a particular student receives throughout the semester: 75%(exam #1), 60%(exam #2), 95%(exam#3), and 85%(final)
- The total points for the semester would be computed as: = 0.75×200+0.60×100+0.95×350+0.85× =840 Æ letter grade “B”
Exam Format:
- Exams may be a combination of definitions, short answer, problems, and multiple choice type questions.

- Within term exams will cover only new material and are not comprehensive.
Final Exam:
- The final exam will be comprehensive with approximately 80% of the exam content on material covered after exam #3 and 20% from exams 1,2, and 3.
Grading Component Percent of Final Grade Points Within-Term Exams 65% 650 Final Exam 35% 350

Course Enrollment Statement
It is the responsibility of each student to determine that he or she is appropriately enrolled in each course. Students are expected to confirm their registration in the selected courses prior to the last day to register for full-semester classes, the fifth class day of the semester.
The College of Business strictly enforces add/drop policies. Thus, students should not request to add classes after the fifth class day, except in extenuating circumstances (e.g., removal from class roll because of tuition/fees nonpayment), and under no circumstances after the last day to drop full-semester classes without academic penalty.
Students can drop a course on SOAR up to the last day to drop full-semester classes without academic penalty. After that date, students should not ask to drop a course except in extenuating circumstances (e.g., medical incapacity), and under no circumstances after the University withdrawal deadline.
For the Fall Semester 2006, the last day to register for full-semester classes is Friday, September 1, 2006, the last day to drop full-semester classes without academic penalty is Wednesday, October 4, 2006, and the University withdrawal deadline is tentatively set for Monday, December 4, 2006.
Grading Policy and Grade Review Policy Statement ( USM Undergraduate Bulletin, 2006-2007 )
The instructor has the authority in his or her class over all matters affecting the conduct of the class, including the assignment of grades. Student performance should be evaluated according to academic criteria made available to all students within the first two weeks of each semester. Grades should not be determined in an arbitrary or capricious manner.
When a student disagrees with the final grade given by an instructor, fair play requires the opportunity for an orderly appellate procedure. A student must initiate the appeal procedure within 30 school days (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and official student holidays) of the beginning of the semester subsequent to the one in which the grade was awarded, or 120 calendar days after the issuance of spring semester grades, should the student not be enrolled during the summer term. The procedure assures due process for both the instructor and student. For policies and procedures governing grade review, contact the dean of the appropriate college or the Office of the Provost.
Student E-Mail Accounts
Please be sure to set up your USM e-mail account. Even if you are using another e-mail account as your primary account, you should still activate your USM account and route it to your other primary account. The HELP desk (266-HELP; 266-4357) can assist you in doing this or you should be able to activate it through SOAR. The University is moving more toward e-mail notification for all types of issues and this will help to keep you informed about various deadlines and other things that may affect your academic career.
