Rules Regulating Class Standing
in Professor Minor's
Law Courses.
1. There will be held during a portion
of each lecture a written quiz on the topics
discussed in the text assigned for the
day and the lecture thereon; and about
the end of each month a quiz in writing
may be held embracing the work already
covered in the course. If the written
answers are upon more than one sheet,
the sheets must be securely fastened together.
2. The answers will be graded, and the
average of the grades in all the lectures
of the course will constitute the student's
class standing.
3. For graduation in the course the
class standing will be reckoned at twenty-five
per cent. and the examination at
seventy-five per cent. of a possible hundred;
that is, in estimating the session's
grade of the student, twenty-five per cent.
of his average class grade will be added
to seventy-five per cent. of his examination
grade, and the aggregate will constitute
his grade for the whole course.
4. In estimating the class grade, a failure,
without legal excuse, to hand in a
paper upon the written quiz will count as
a total failure for that recitation.
Absence with legal excuse, or a legally
excused failure to hand in a paper, will
count as if a paper worth seventy per
cent. had been handed in. But no excuse
will be received, unless presented
to, and accepted by, the professor at the
first lecture of the course following such
absences or failures.
5. Attention is called to the provision
of the catalogue of the University that
"In case of delayed entrance, the student
is regarded as having been absent
from all lectures or other exercises that
have been given, in the courses in which
he enters, since the beginning of the session."
Such absences will be "excused"
if the student is permitted by the president
of the University to register without
penalty.
6. A student having optional attendance
upon a course, and standing the
regular examination with the class or one
standing a special examination thereon,
will have his class grade during the last
year of his attendance upon the course
counted in with his grade upon such examination.
7. To all papers handed in for class
grade the pledge must be appended and
properly signed. Otherwise the paper
will be treated as a total failure.
8. The oral quiz during the lecture is
not hereby abrogated.
With variations in certain particulars,
the above plan for combining the class
grade with the examination grade is substantially
the same that has been employed
for several years with much success
by Prof. R. H. Dabney, in his history
classes.
Messrs. C. M. Chichester and A. S.
Robertson, graduates of last year, have
been appointed assistants in the law department,
in order to meet the expanding
methods of the work. Mr. A. M. Dobie,
a member of the class of 1904, and since
a practicing lawyer of St. Louis, Mo.,
will instruct Prof. Lile's classes during
the latter's year of absence in Europe.
