Class Rules • Lab Courses: • 70% from Academics • Tests • Quizzes • Class work • Projects • Home work • 30 % from Laboratory Work
Class Rules • Grading will be done on a cumulative point basis. Each assignment, quiz, etc. will be worth a certain number of points. At the end of each marking period these points are added up and your grade will be calculated on a percentage of the total. • For example, if the total number of points for the marking period is 500 and you have gotten 450 points, your grade would be 450/500 x 100 = 90. • Grades are based on tests, quizzes, labs, activities and homework.
