The final examination will be comprehensive but will stress material not covered by previous examinations. Grading Any disagreement with homework or exam grading must be settled with Dr. Dave within one week after the graded material is returned. Any disagreement with lab exercise or quiz grading must be settled with your TA, also within one week after the graded material is returned. Grading will be adjusted throughout and at the end of the semester with a sliding scale. Cutoff scores between the letter grades will be based on overall class performance and based on the distribution of scores.
Cutoffs usually occur where there are gaps between clusters of similar scores.
The design notebooks will be checked and evaluated periodically by the TAs. These evaluations will affect your laboratory grade. You should bring your design notebooks to all Lab meetings. In the middle and at the end of the semester, you will be required to report on how your group performed together. You will evaluate how well each of your group members contributed to the group.
