  7. Grading • What materials are being graded? • Two midterms • One comprehensive two-parts final • Homework sets (9) • Quizzes (9, but the lowest score is dropped) • Laboratory write-ups

  8. Grading (cont.) • What is the grade distribution? • Mean 2.6 ± 0.2. • 700 points total; all points are equivalent. • Must pass the laboratory to pass course. • I have no idea how many points will yield a grade at the mean

  11. Quizzes • On material that has been covered in lecture. • Keys will not be posted. • We will drop the lowest quiz grade. • No make up quizzes (unless excused absence, then will prorate quiz scores to construct a score).

  12. Final • Two parts final; part 1, Ch 12-13 part 2, Comprehensive • No make-up final • If you are too sick to take the final, secure documentation for your illness and do not take the final. An incomplete will be given if you are passing the course to that point (with approval of excuse).

  13. Other Policies • No late work accepted without documentation. • No make up exams without documentation. • Lecture are posted on the course web site.
