Instructor's Students are required to log in at least twice weekly, preferably daily.
Requirements Three tests (3) given this semester. Tests will consist of both objective and essay
questions and will be valued as one-fourth of your final grade. Objective questions will
cover textbook reading. I will prepare you for the essay questions using Eagle online.
Historically, the essay questions raise the test grades of most students.

A report will be assigned by the Professor via the Eagle Assignments Tool which will
count as one-fourth of your final grade.

NO MAKE-UP WORK ACCEPTED UNLESS APPROVED BY INSTRUCTOR

Program/Discipline Business Administration is determined to prepare students with the

Requirements: If knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today’s dynamic work
applicable environment. Students in Introduction to Business must be able to budget
their time and perform class-related activities as assigned on a weekly
basis. Opportunities are provided for students to recognize the important
role personal qualities play in the business environment and activities have
been enhanced to help students develop the attitudes and interpersonal skills
that are in demand by employers.

HCC Grading A = 100- 90 4 points per semester hour

Scale: B = 89 - 80: 3 points per semester hour
C = 79 - 70: 2 points per semester hour
D = 69 - 60: 1 point per semester hour
59 and below = F 0 points per semester hour
 FX (Failure due to non-attendance) 0 points per semester hour
IP (In Progress) 0 points per semester hour
W (Withdrawn) 0 points per semester hour
I (Incomplete) 0 points per semester hour
AUD (Audit) 0 points per semester hour

IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-
enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing
education courses.

FINAL GRADE OF FX: Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw
themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline may either be dropped by their professor
for excessive absences or be assigned the final grade of "FX" at the end of the
semester. Students who stop attending classes will receive a grade of "FX", compared
to an earned grade of "F" which is due to poor performance. Logging into a DE course
without active participation is seen as non-attending. Please note that HCC will not
disperse financial aid funding for students who have never attended class.

Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class will be reported to the
Department of Education and may have to pay back their aid. A grade of "FX" is treated
exactly the same as a grade of "F" in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and
satisfactory academic progress.

To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total
number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect
GPA.

Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales may differ from the approved HCC Grading
Scale. For Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales, see the "Program Discipline
Requirements" section of the Program's syllabi.
