| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: 75% of grade | |||||||||
| Chapter
exams--50 %
Comprehensive midterm and final examinations--25 % There will be 6 chapter(s) exams approximately every
two weeks (equal points) and ONE may be dropped. If absent,
the missed exam is automatically dropped. The departmental
midterm (week 8) and final (week 16) will be multiple choice.
|
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: 25% of grade | |||||||||
| Lab reports,
problem sets and lab final:
Attendance is required for scheduled lab meetings. Labs may NOT be made up! Experiment report sheets are to be completed in ink. No "white-out" allowed! Problem sets and the Lab Final Exam may be completed in pencil. Safety eyewear must be worn during every lab involving an experiment. See lab schedule for order/dates of labs and problem sets. |
|||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| N/A | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| Bonus points and/or extra credit given during the lecture portion of the course may not exceed 10% of the total grade earned in the course. This means that the total bonus points possible on tests or extra assignments should not exceed 20% of the total points earned in class (50% of 20% ~ 10%). | |||||||||
| E. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| 90 - 100
A
NO plus grades (B+ and C+)
80 - 89.9 B are given. Percentages may be 70 - 79.9 C rounded up if > 0.5 at the 60 - 69.9 D instructor's discretion. <60 F |
|||||||||
