May 9 , 2007 Wednesday |
Take Quiz No. 3 (40 questions) Yes, the final examination during final examination week!!!! |
The class has a total of 240 points possible.
- 120 points from 3 exams
- 80 points from 4 homework assignments
Yes, I curve my grades to your advantage. Last semester's grade curve in this class looked like this:
170 to 193 points equals "A"
150 to 169 points equals "B"
130 to 149 points equals "C"
110 to 129 points equals "D"
below 109 points is Failing..
1. There are 3 Quizzes during the semester. Each quiz is composed of 40 multiple choice questions.
Don't miss the schedule exam.
That is very, very bad, because you will have to take an essay makeup examination.
You do not want to take the makeup test!!! Makeup tests are far more challenging.
Makeup test are not given until the end of the semester.
How can you prepare for a quiz? They are going to be very similar (but not exactly like)
the practice questions at the back of each assigned chapter. Yes, they can also be related to
lecture and videotape presentations give in class.
But in reality, I will adjust the scale downward, an act of mercy called curving.
2. The four short writing assignments will be specific topics that I will assign to you.
Three topics will relate to physical anthropology and three topics will relate to archaeology.
I expect you to make use of library and internet resources to answer the questions that I ask
in the writing assignment. Each writing assignment results in a minimum of 2 pages, typewritten.
The last page should have at least 3 sources for your answers. Be my guest and turn it in
a week late for 1 letter grade deduction. Be my guest and turn it in 2 weeks late for
2 letter grade deductions. What about 3 week late? Use it to line the birdcage!
3. The ACCESS OFFICE - disAbility Support Services has been designated by the college
as the primary office to guide, counsel and assist students with disabilities.
If you receive services through the ACCESS OFFICE and require accommodations for this
class, make an appointment to see me as soon as possible to discuss you approved
accommodation needs. Email me if you have an Instructor Notification Memo provided
by the ACCESS OFFICE to the appointment. I will hold any information you share with
me in strictest confidence unless you give me permission to do otherwise.
4. An Honors Contract can be developed for this class if your GPA is 3.5 or higher.
Please contact the Honors Coordinator (Dr. John Bayer at 314/984-7555) for more information.
Go to

for more information.
5. See me in my office or Email me if your are having problems with the course.
6. I very, very, very rarely give Incomplete grades at the end of the semester. Keep track of
your grades and ask me before doing anything rash about dropping the class.
Check this web site:
http://www.stlcc.edu/calendars/
to determine the last date to drop a class during our semester.
7. HOSE ME DOWN AND I WILL FAIL YOU. Translation: you will be given a failing grade
if you cheat on an assignment, cheat on a test, cheat on the paper, or hack into any
of the computer system.
8. TOUCH THE TEST AND YOU CAN'T HAND IT BACK! Can you believe that I have to say this?
If you are not prepared, then do not sit in the chair on test day! If your hand touches the
test, then the clock is running. You have the entire class period to take the examination. Hand it back
without answers and it will be easy to grade. No retakes after your fingers have touched an
examination. I don't care if you High School allowed you to faint and hand it back.
This Is College.
9. How long do you wait until leaving the classroom if the teacher is late? Wait all hour until
instructed to leave by a secretary or another teacher. Discuss the textbook questions with the
other students until Professor Fuller arrives.
10. Put your cell phone in silent vibrate or suffer my ridicule.
