Grading Policy - Professor Hedman
Grading Policy
Homework
Homework will not be collected, nor will it be factored directly into the grade. However, you must have at least attempted the assigned problems before coming to class in order to understand the lecture. The dates given are when I will do the problems in class.
Your Grade
There will be two midterm examinations, each worth 25 points. There will be a cumulative final examination, worth 50 points. These are the only components of your grade. Grading is “on the curve” according to the following scale. X represents the average total score of the class out of 100 points. s.d. represents the standard deviation of the total scores of the class.
A: above X + s.d.
B: between X and X + s.d.
C: between X – s.d. and X
D & F: below X - s.d.
After each midterm answer keys will be posted on HuskyCT. Don’t ask for “extra credit.” Because of the app “Wolfram Alpha,” NO CELL PHONES NOR CALCULATORS are to be seen during an exam. If I see a cell phone or a calculator, I will collect your exam immediately.
Make-up Policy
You are given the midterm dates on the first day of class. You are expected to be here these dates. No make-up exams will be given. If you are absent from a midterm, then your final exam will be worth more to make up for the points you missed on the midterm. But if you are present and sign the blue book, you must keep the points you earned on it.
Your Instructor
Prof. Bruce Hedman received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1979, and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1980.

For thirty-five years he has also pastored a local Congregational church. He and his wife Sandy reside in Storrs with their puggle Samantha. He wrote an article “Archetypal Images in Haida Art” for the Journal of the International Society for Jungian Studies, which explores symbolism in the totem poles of the Northwest Coast First Peoples.
