             Grading:  The following factors will be used to arrive at the final course grade
Homework                                                 10 %

                             Labs                                                        20 %
Exam I                                                     20 %
Exam II                                                   20 %     
Final Exam                                               30 %

 

    Grading Scale:  Grades will be assigned to the following scale:

A                 90 - 100 %
B                 80 - 89 %
C                 70 - 79 %
D                 60 - 69 %
F                 < 60 %

                             These are guaranteed maximum scales and may be revised downward at the instructor's discretion.

 

          Homework:  Homework will be collected at the beginning of class on a roughly weekly basis.  Collaboration with classmates is permitted.  Copying is not permitted.

 

               Exams:  No make-ups for missed exams will be given.  If you have attended 75% of the lectures and have 75% on the homework, and you have a legitimate excuse for missing an exam (e.g., significant illness family emergency) , the first missed exam will be scored by taking 90% of the average of the other exams.  Subsequent missed exams will be scored as zero.

 

      Ethics Policy:  Academic misconduct will not be tolerated.  It will result in a failing grade and may result in further disciplinary action by the University.  For details see the Academic Misconduct section of the Timetable.
