I am an HSI STEM Instructor and Supplemental Instructor at the Rowan College of South Jersey, with specialties in Mathematics, Engineering, and Computer Science.
Students will be assigned homework after each section, which may take several hours to complete. Students will be given several days to complete the homework. Projects and group projects may be assigned depending on class size and progress.
Grading The final letter grade will be determined by the following scale: A+ (98-100) A (93-98) A- (90-92) B+ (87-89) B (83-86) B- (80-82) C+ (77-79) C (73-76) C- (70-72) D (60-69) F (59 and below) Grading Distribution 60% Exam 40% Homework (Optional) Projects may count for up to 20% of the final grade, which will be taken equally from Exam and Homework percentages.
4 hours per week in class, and an estimated 4+ hours per week outside of class.
