Course Requirements: Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a
grade based upon the percent of total possible points they obtain. Although subject to slight
modification based on the discretion of the instructor, this course will consist of 1000 points (14
quizzes worth 10-20 points each, 1 mid-term, and 1 final exam worth 100 points each).
Laboratory and assignment points are worth approximately 480 points and discussions 80 points
to obtain the total points possible for the course (approximately 1000). There is a one week grace
period to make up any missed exam or assignment with a 10% deduction for each day it is late.
Any missed exam/work not made up within the allotted time will be given a zero. It is the
responsibility of the student to schedule make-up work within an acceptable period of time due
to extenuating circumstances. 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
