A Term 2001 - Grading Policy


The final grade for each student will consist of quiz grades (64%), homework grades (28%), and lab/in-class-group-work grades (8%).

The following ranges will be used to determine final grades. If necessary, the boundaries for final grades may be lowered.

A: 86 - 100
B: 75 - 85
C: 64 - 74

Quizzes (64%)

Five quizzes will be given. The four highest quiz grades will each count 16% toward your final grade. Because one quiz grade will be dropped, there will be NO excused absences from quizzes! No makeup quizzes will be given.

Homework (28%)

Four homework assignments will be given, worth 7% each.

Labs/In-class-group-work (8%)

Six labs will be given during conference sections on Wednesdays beginning September 5. In-class group work assignments will given on an unannounced basis throughout the term. Each lab and in-class assignment will be worth 1%. The highest 8 of these grades will count toward your final grade; the others will be dropped. Because some of these grades will be dropped, there will be NO excused absences and NO makeups for labs or in-class assignments!
