1. Testing Procedure:
   Students are evaluated primarily on the basis of tests and laboratory assignments. Each instructor must provide full details the first week of class via a syllabus supplement. A minimum of three tests is recommended. Tests will cover material presented in class. Tests are not to be missed without a valid excuse.
   
   
2. Laboratory Expectations:
   Lab attendance is required. Assignments will be given and must be completed and handed in at the designated date. The student is expected to turn in all required documentation for each lab. At least 7 labs are recommended.
   
   
3. Field Work:   N/A
   
   
4. Other Evaluation Methods:
   Class participation, quizzes and homework will also comprise the final grade for the course.
   
   
5. Grading Scale:

   93 – 100	A
   88 – 92	B+
   83 – 87	B
   78 – 82	C+
   73 – 77	C
