        Grading Policy
	




 
 

    


All lab reports are equally weighted for grading purpose.





				





	

	
	

		Grade Scale
		score

	
	

		A
		90-100(A-:90-92.9)

    
	

		B
		80-89.9(B-:80-82.9, B+:87-89.9)

	
	

		C

  1. The lab grade for the experiments missed will be an automatic zero, 
    except for those made-up with the permission of the instructor. 
    Make-up of the test will be only granted for exceptional cases.
    
    

  2. The grade awarded for each lab report will be determined by:  
	
    
    
      
        
    1. The ability in properly adjusting the apparatus
        
    2. Collecting meaningful data
        
    3. Active participation with your group
        
    4. Quality of the report
        
    5. Organization of the data
        
    6. Calculations, results, and discussion
        
    7. Properly drawn and labeled graphs
        
    

  3. Students are not allowed to leave the laboratory until the 
    experiment is successfully over, and the area is cleaned and 
    all tools are returned to the proper locations.
