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 standardized final   (week 16) will be multiple choice.  Midterm (50 min.) will cover material discussed the   first 7 weeks.  Final (110 min.) will be comprehensive   and cover material from CHM 1010 and CHM 1020.
	B. Laboratory Expectations: 25% of grade
		Lab reports, problem sets and lab final--25% 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
VI. Policies:
	Attendance Policy:
		Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities.  As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course.
