Grading
Laboratory reports should be handed to the instructor for each section one week after completion of the laboratory. Ten (10) points will be deducted for each day a lab report is late. Grades will be curved in each section to ensure consistency between sections. The course will be graded as follows:
Laboratory Reports175 points (I-IV)= 700 points
Laboratory Performance100 points= 100 points
Quizzes 50 points for 1-4= 200 points
TOTAL = 1000 points
