Exams:
There will be a mid - term exam ( 50% of the final grade) and a final non - cumulative exam ( 50% of the final grade). Both exams will be comprised of objective questions. NO MAKE UP EXAMS WILL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT A UNIVERSITY APPROVED EXCUSE. Such approved reasons include illness, family emergencies, military obligation, or participation in a University approved activities. It is the students responsibility to give the instructor notice prior to any anticipated absence that will cause the student to miss a scheduled exam. Reasonable notice must be given to the instructor of an unanticipated absence which causes the student to miss an exam. Reasonable notice means contacting the professor prior to the next class. A student who misses an exam for a valid, documented reason will be allowed to take a make up exam. The make-up exam will be an essay format.
Extra Credit:
Not Mandatory but recommended. After the midterm, students will be given an opportunity to give an oral presentation advocating for the death penalty or against the death penalty. A student can earn up to 5 points, which will be added to the final exam grade.
Grades: Grades will be based on a plus/minus system. The below listed scale shall be applicable for this course:

F.A.U. Honor Code: Students at F.A.U. are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty, including cheating and plagiarism, is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards because it interferes with the University mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys an unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the University community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and places high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty. For more information, see: http://www.fau.edu/regulations/chapter4/4.oo1_Honor_Code.pdf.
