Grading Criteria

Your semester grade (90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, below 60 F) will be calculated using the following weights:

Category	Drop	Weight
Attendance	-----	5%
Online HW	Drop lowest 2 assignments	10%
Zero Questions	Drop lowest 1 assignment	10%
Reviews/Labs	-----	10%
Major Exams	-----	45%
Final Exam	-----	20%

Three major exams will be given this semester in addition to a comprehensive final exam. If the final exam grade is higher than the lowest major exam, the final exam grade will replace it. Otherwise, all major exams will be counted in the final average.

Attendance

Daily attendance is required and will constitute one major grade. Students will be allowed to miss one class day without penalty. Five points will be deducted from the starting attendance grade of 100 for each absence after the first. For a single absence, a grade of 100 will be given; for two absences, 95; for 3, 90; etc. If you are more than 10 minutes late or leave more than 10 minutes early, it will count as an absence. Attendance will be taken in both lecture and lab.

It is the responsibility of the student to sign the attendance sheet daily. Nonattendance will be recorded as an absence, and no differentiation will be made as to excused or unexcused absences. Only in emergency situations will an absence not be counted, IF documentation is provided. Note that the last day to drop is Thursday, April 24, 2014. Students who stop attending class and do not officially drop will receive a grade of F if their average falls below a 60.
