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 70-79.9(C-:70-72.9, C+:77-79.9)
D 60-69.9(D-:60-62.9, D+:67-69.9)
F Below 60


  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.
