Your grade in this class will be based on 3 one hour exams given
in class, a final exam, and possibly in class quizzes. The exams will
be given on the following dates:
January 26
February 16
March 6
Final Exam: March 11
at 11 AM
Your average in the course will be computed as follows:
Each exam will be assigned a weight of 25% and the final 2 x 25%.
The average will be computed after the lowest 25% has been dropped.
For example, if one of your "in class" exams is your lowest grade, it
will be dropped and your final will count 50%. If your final is your
lowest grade, it will count only 25% with the "in class" exams making
up the remaining 75%. Short quizzes will be given if I feel that
attendance is poor or the class is doing poorly on the exams. If
quizzes are given, the above computation will count less than 100%
and quiz grades will be averaged in. Make-up exams will not be given.
Students who have missed an exam and have a valid excuse will have
their other exams and the final exam given more wieght when the final
grade is calculated. Students with special needs during lecture
and/or exams should see me early in the quarter.
My office is room 376 in the Chemistry building. Please feel free
to come and talk to me about problems you may be having with the
course. This quarter, my office hours will be from 1-3 PM on
Wednesdays. I shall conduct informal help sessions at mutually
agreeable times preceding exams. I also encourage you to ask
questions during my lectures.
