| Assigment | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Proctored Assessments | 60% |
| Laboratory | 20% |
| Homework | 20% |
NOVA Online courses have a requirement for proctored assessments to maintain compliance with our accreditation standards and the Higher Education Act’s identity verification requirements for online courses. College-wide, proctored assessments prove identity so students must show overall passing levels on the proctored assessments in order to pass an online course. In this online course, the average of the four proctored assessment scores must be a passing percentage of 60 percent in order for you to pass the course regardless of your scores on other graded activities. Please contact your instructor if you require any clarification on this proctored assessment policy.
Your final grade will be based on the following scale.
| Grade | Percent |
|---|---|
| A | 90-100 |
| B | 80-89 |
| C | 70-79 |
| D | 60-69 |
| F | 0-59 |
Students who earn a zero on 50% or more of homework assignments or 50% or more of labs will not be able to achieve a final grade higher than a D, regardless of the actual final percentage.
Your final grade is based on mastering the material covered in the course. There are no extra credit projects given. Please do not ask for any extra credit. The answer will be no.
