** VI. COURSE REQUIREMENTS and GRADING SCALE ** **PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO READ THE SYLLABUS AND MAKE NOTE OF ALL ASSIGNED TESTS AND HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS.**

A. Attendance and/or Class Participation – **5% of final grade** Students are expected to be present and participate in discussion times at all class meetings. If a student is forced to miss due to a personal/family emergency or ministry obligation, the student will need to contact (if possible) the instructor before class time regarding the unexpected absence. The instructor will also honor any and all attendance policies established by the school. Excessive absences, as mandated by the school, will result in the loss of credit for the class.

Tardies are not acceptable to the academic environment. It creates distractions for the professor who is teaching and the students who are engaged in learning by being on time and prepared for class. **Therefore, three tardies will count as one absence and all subsequent tardies (after the third tardy) will count one point against the student’s final grade.**

Please note that failure to come to class adequately prepared, which includes the completion of all assigned reading, can result in unannounced quizzes. These quizzes will be factored into the quizzes and homework portion of a student’s grade.

<span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond; mso-fareast-font-family: Garamond; msobidifontfamily: Garamond; msofareastfontfamily: Garamond; msolist: Ignore;">B. Reading Assignment(s) – **15% of final grade** Students will be assigned various chapters of George Marsden’s // Fundamentalism and American Culture // during the semester.

 * SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING ASSIGNMENTS: ** **__Assignments are due on the day and at the class time assigned in the syllabus__**, unless adjusted by the professor. Failure to submit class assignments at the beginning of the class will result in an automatic 25 point deduction. The student will be deducted an additional 25 points if the assignment is submitted the next day and will not be accepted after the second day. The professor **will not** accept any student assignment after the two day “grace period”.

A minimum of five (5) sources is required for this paper, including one which must be from a credible (i.e., not Wikipedia) internet source. Failure to provide a bibliography will result in an automatic 25 point deduction. If a student has questions about the viability of a source, please speak with the professor before including this source on the research paper.


 * Please Note: ** All written assignments will be checked and excessive errors (i.e., incorrect comma usage and misspellings) will result in points being deducted from the overall grade.


 * Plagiarism Policy: **  Plagiarism under any conditions will not be accepted. The consequence for plagiarism is an automatic failure of the class.
