Reading assignments are made to clarify lecture and laboratory material and to supplement your texts. Other types of test questions may be used. All lecture tests are comprehensive and will contain material from laboratories that have been completed. Grades will be based on points accumulated on three hourly exams, laboratory practicals, quizzes, lab and lecture assignments and a comprehensive final exam. Assignments and Laboratory materials deemed unacceptable will not be graded.
Assignments are due in class.
Otherwise, q-drops will be granted on an individual basis, with a minimum requirement of positive attempts to improve performance and taking all three exams. See page 58 of the student handbook for section on Academic Misconduct. Appropriate and reasonable measures will be taken during examinations and any other times as needed, to prevent or catch acts of cheating. Anyone not willing to abide by terms and conditions needed by these measures will not be allowed to take the exam or will be asked to leave. If there is any question about whether an action might fall under the shadow of Academic Misconduct, it is the responsibility of the student to ask the instructor for clarification and guidance.
