GRADES :
All assignments have similar weightage, except tests which have double. Negative points will be issued for class disruptions, improper dress, etc. Positive points shall be issued for uplifting attitude & behaviour, and extra credit for research. 4 positive points make up half a grade advancement. 4 negative points will lower your grades by half a grade.
Abbreviations: +s: positive behaviour; -s: disruptive behaviour;
an: article not submitted; hns: homework not submitted; ns: no submissions;
There is no excuse for not doing well on tests, as the tests are derived
directly from the HW packet given every 7-10 days, which is discussed
a few days before the test is given.
