Grading

Letter grades: A/90%, B/80%, C/70%, D/60%, F/ Less than 60%

This course is lab-oriented. Expected number of labs: 10, worth 6% each, about one per week.

Two exams worth 15% and 25%.

Attendance

Attendance to both Lecture and Lab sessions is mandatory. Attendance will be taken via in class quiz at random. Each quiz is not graded, but missing more than 2 without PRIOR approval will result in a 3% reduction in your final grade for each quiz missed.
