Final grade computation: The percentage scores for each of the exams and the homework are added together to give a weighted average as defined above. To this percentage score will be added the applicable bonus percentages for reporting errors in the database of questions. There is no rounding up of final averages. In other words, 89.5% is a final grade of B. In fact, 89.9% is a final grade of B. You must achieve a final grade of 90.0% to earn an A. One important exception to this scale is that you must earn a grade of >50% on the final exam to earn a passing grade in this course (i.e., a D or better).

Make-up examinations scheduled after the regularly scheduled exam will be done as oral make-up exams at a time mutually agreeable to both the student and the instructor.
A full range of options is available to the instructor in the event of a
discovery of academic dishonesty (i.e., cheating). These options are stated in
the West Virginia University Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities
(Section 3.5.2.6), but include dismissal from school or an unforgivable
"F" for a course grade. These options will be vigorously enforced.
