Civil Procedure SY 2011-2012 Prof. Solomon F.

Lumba Recitation Recitation is voluntary and will comprise 20% of your final grade. The recitation grade will depend on the number of acceptable recitations, as follows: 0=5.0; 1=4.0; 2=3.0; 3=2.75; 4=2.5; 5=2.25; 6=2.0; 7=1.75; 8=1.5; 9=1.25; 10=1.0. You can confirm after each class if your recitation was recorded. Attendance Perfect attendance = +.25 in the final grade. Late = absent. No excused absence for whatever reason. However, you are given 2 absences to use as you wish. Every 2 absences thereafter will result in your final grade being diminished by .25. You can confirm after each class if your attendance was recorded. Quizzes Pre-announced quizzes will comprise 80% of your final grade. There will be at least 7 quizzes of 50 points each. Quizzes always cover all the subject matter so far taken up. Finals/Removals A grade of 2.5 or better at the end of the semester after taking into account the quizzes, recitation and attendance, will exempt you from taking the final exam. For those who must take the final exam, the best grade that they can get is a 2.5. No removal examination will be given. Textbook There is no prescribed textbook.
