In addition to the above maximum of 600 points that are possible for the lecture portion of the course, a maximum of 200 points is possible for the laboratory portion of the course. Thus, a total maximum of 800 points is possible for the overall course. Final course letter grades will correspond to the following percentages of the 800 point maximum:
| ≥ 85% | (≥ 680 pts.) | A |
| 75 - 84% | (600 - 679 pts.) | B |
| 60 - 74% | (480 - 599 pts.) | C |
| 50 - 59% | (400 - 479 pts.) | D |
| < 50% | (< 400 pts.) | F |
