Grades
Your grade for the course will be determined by a combination
of factors weighted as indicated below. The grading scale will be
fixed as shown. The grades on exams will be curved, but the grades on
homework and laboratories will not.
The minimum passing grade is a final total of 60.0%, including a
laboratory grade of at least 60.0% as well.
Failing laboratory grades are unacceptable. If you fail the
laboratory, you fail the course as well.
Attendance is required. Excessive absences (25% or more) will
result in failure of the course.
You may view your grades on the Blackboard system. Homework grades can be viewed
while logged into the CAPA system.
