Make-up policy: Missed labs must be made up within two weeks during a scheduled lab period or by arrangement with me. Quizzes and problem sets cannot be made up due to the excessive number which will be given during the semester. Missed exams must be made up as soon as possible. All arrangements to make up missed work are the student's responsibility.
Grading information:
Although class attendance and participation will not, in themselves, earn a score, regular attention to both of these areas by the student will be taken into account when numerical grades are borderline. The same grade will be given for both lecture and lab. Lecture will contribute 67% towards this overall grade and lab will contribute 33%. An approximate letter-grade scale is given below, but may be adjusted as appropriate by the instructor:
Lecture: 3 exams, 100 points each 300 points quizzes and problem sets (10 best) 200 points final exam (comprehensive) 150 points 650 points Laboratory: 13 reports at 20 points each 260 points
