Tests and Grading in PSY 101
Introductory Psychology at MCC (PSY 101) is organized into ten units, with a 20-item multiple choice quiz on each unit. You can take each unit quiz three times, each with different questions from the same 20 learning objectives. (Students taking the course at extension sites, such as a high school, should talk to their instructors about how many and which of these tests will be available to them.) The three tests on each unit are labeled "A," "B," and "C." They are generally taken in that order (A, then B, then C), but no test is a prerequisite for another test: as scheduling permits, you may take them in any order. The B test is only given in class (your teacher will hand out a calendar showing which tests will be given in class on which days). The other two tests, A and C, will be given in the Psychology Learning Center, and will be administered by computer. The A test is generally available starting on the first Monday of the new unit, or the first Wednesday of a new two-week unit. The deadline for this test is the (end of day) Thursday of the week in which the in-class test is given. The C test is also given in the Learning Center, but it is available from the Friday of the week in which the in-class test is given, through the (end of) Tuesday of the following week. For most of our students, who take their B tests on Wednesdays (M/W class), Thursdays (T/R class), or Fridays (M/W/F class), the sequence goes like this: FIRST, they take the A test in the Learning Center sometime between Monday and Thursday of the test week. SECOND, they take the B test in class on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. THIRD, they take the C test in the Learning Center on Friday, Saturday, or Monday or Tuesday of the following week. If scheduling allows, you are permitted to take the B test prior to the A test, or the C test prior to the B test. Only the highest score of whichever tests you take for each unit is the one that counts. Your class average is the average of each unit's highest test score. Remember, in order to take a test in the Psychology Learning Center you MUST have a photo ID. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. Your grade in the course is computed by converting the highest score you have on each unit into a percentage and then averaging the percentages together. This is then converted into a letter grade as follows:
