Grade Calculation:
Grades will be calculated on the basis of total points earned.
| Activity | Points | Total points possible |
| Homeworks | 8 @ 10 pts | 80 pts |
| Quizzes | 5 @ 6 pts | 30 pts |
| Lecture Exams | 3 @ 100 pts | 300 pts |
| Laboratory | 200 pts | |
| Final Exam | 390 pts | |
| Course Points Total | 1000 pts |
Likely Grades:
The exact range of each letter grade will be assigned at the end of the
semester.
Approximate grade ranges will be:
870 (87%) and greater points = an A,
870 to 730 points (87-73%) = a B,
730 to 600 points (73-60%) = a C,
600 to 500 points (60-50%) = a D,
fewer than 500 points (50%) = an F.
Incomplete Grades:
Students with absences (excused or non-excused) who miss one or more exams without making up the missed exams should consult me. In particular, students who request a grade of "I" (Incomplete) and meet all university criteria for this temporary grade, must review the records, etc., with me before I will consider giving the grade of "I".
