Human Emotions (50:830:306 sec.01)

Course Grading & Attendance Policy

GRADING: Your course grade is based on class attendance and three exams. Exams may test: (a) information in required readings, whether or not it is covered in class; and (b) information that is presented in class, whether or not it is in required readings To help you learn about research methods used in the study of emotions,you may be asked to participate in classroom exercises or research studies related to the course material during the semester, but your participation in such exercises or studies is completely voluntary: your grade will not be affected by your participating or not participating in a classroom exercise or research study.

The grading for the course will be:
Attendance: 1% of course grade
Exam 1:  33 % of course grade

Exam 2:  33
% of course grade
Final Exam: 33% of course grade

No exam grade will be dropped from inclusion in your course grade.  So please make sure you have kept up with the readings and are adequately prepared for the first exam and all subsequent exams.

ABSENCES: You are expected to come to class, and to take all scheduled exams.  If you are absent from class due to illness or for some other legitimate reason, it is in your best interest to get the notes from someone in the class, because we will cover much in class that is not in the readings.  If you are going to miss an exam, you must let me know in advance by calling me at (856) 225-6341, or by sending e-mail to ira.roseman@rutgers.edu 
If I am not in, you can leave a message on my voice mail.  If something happens at the last minute, you still need to let me know before the start of the exam. 5% will be deducted from your exam grade if you miss an exam without letting me know in advance. Essay makeup exams will be given in cases of legitimate absences.  All makeup exams in this course are essay tests.
