|
Attendance |
Students will be dropped from the course after missing four lectures or 2 labs. Arriving to class late or leaving early will be penalized as an absence. |
|
Grading |
Lecture: 2 exams @ 50 points each. Lab: 10 points for each weekly assignment. The grading scale is: A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%, C = 70-79%, D = 60-69%, and F = below 60%. |
|
Lecture Exams |
Lecture exams include multiple-choice and short essay questions. No electronic devices (including translators) or dictionaries of any kind are permitted during exams. Only one exam may be made-up for a legitimate medical or legal emergency if accompanied by official verifiable docu men tation; the make-up for this exam must be scheduled for the first class upon your return. Final exam is scheduled for Tues 17 Dec at 10:30-12:30. |

Lab Assignments |
It is essential for you to attend labs regularly and to turn in all assignments on time. Late lab reports will be accepted only for half-credit for one additional week. Students will need to arrange for their own transportation to required field trips (usually to Ocean Beach). |

Any student found cheating during an exam or copying from another student's assignment will be suspended from class and penalized twice the points available. Any student using any telecommunication device in the classroom will be dismissed and penalized with an absence. |
