There is no final comprehensive exam.
Delivery Method:
Assignments submitted by mail or online by using e-mail or the course mail
software. Students are not expected to come to campus at any time.
Grading:
Grading will be based on tests after each 1 or 2 Chapters. Grades will be figured as a percentage
of the total possible points and letter grades assigned on a straight 90%-80%-70%-60% basis.
Lab grades will be determined by attendance and exercises assigned and turned in.
Attendance on Field Trips, Participation in Class, Interest in Current Events and other examples
of interest and enthusiasm, while not assigned specific scores, will be noted and may accumulate
"Brownie Points" influencing borderline letter grades.
