In order to keep track off your grades, a Grade Performance Sheet is available. Simply print off the form and fill it in with your grades or bring it to me (Dr. Draganjac), and I will give you your grades. Keep in mind this is a generic form to be used with all of Draganjac's classes. Federal Law prohibits discussion of your grade with anyone. Also grades cannot be given by e-mail or over the phone.
Students who require academic adjustments in the classroom due to a disability must first register with ASU Disability Services. Following registration and within the first two weeks of class, please contact me to discuss appropriate academic accommodation. Appropriate arrangements can be made to ensure equal access to this course.
