*Details on course policies

Course Grading: A total score for the term for each student will be computed using:

Exam 1 20%, Exam 2 20%, Final 35%, Lab 25%.

A letter grade will be assigned based on a comparison of the term total score with the instructor's assessment of what constitutes A, A- etc level work. You are encouraged to take part in group discussions and to help each other. However, all work submitted must be your own.

Lab: Reports are due within one week of scheduled completion of an experiment. Lab is an essential part of this bacc-core course; a passing grade cannot be earned without satisfactory completion of lab experiments and reports.

Students with a disability: Please inform the staff so that we can assist with any special needs you may have.
