Course Requirements
:
Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a grade based on the percent of
total possible points they obtain. The lecture component of this course consists of approximately
640 points (12 drop quizzes worth 20 points each, 3 lecture exams worth 100 points each, and
one final exam worth 100 points). Lecture points are added to laboratory point (500 points) to
obtain the total points possible for the course (1140). (Note: Adjustments may be made to lecture
and/or lab points so that the lecture constitutes 3/4 of the total points for the course.) There is a
one-week grace period to make-up any missed exam. Any missed exam not made up within the
allotted time will be given a zero. Makeup exams may be of an essay nature and are usually
considered more difficult. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule any make-up exam
during a time convenient for both student and instructor. Make-ups are not allowed on drop
quizzes, however, the lowest two quiz scores will be dropped. Final letter grades are assigned
based on the following criteria:
A = 89.5-100% of the total points
B = 79.5 - <89.5% of the total points
C = 69.5 - <79.5% of the total points
D = 59.5 - <69.5% of the total points
F =
<59.5% of the total points
