To arrive at your overall grade in Physics 101 your 10 best experiment grades will be given to your lecture instructor in order for him to average your lecture and experiment grades together. Lecture and laboratory grades are computed into one grade, and the same grade is recorded for both lecture and laboratory. Each experiment grade will be based on the experiment and a possible pop quiz.
Pop quizzes can include questions over the present as well as the most recent laboratory exercise.
Each laboratory experiment must be completed during the laboratory period. There will be no make-up experiments. No transfers are allowed except for those with extenuating circumstances. Your experiment average will be drastically affected if you have three or more absences and any of them are unexcused . Excused absences must be approved by Dr. Downing within 10 days of the absence.
