Use of computers in this course: This course will make use of WebCampus for distribution of powerpoints, showing your grade, and communication. Course requirements: Exams (4x100 points each) 75% of your grade Lab Practical (4x25 points each) 25% of your grade Grading system: In order to be fair, I will base your grade on the actual highest total number of points earned by a single person, ie. the class high. If you earn 90% of the class high, your grade is A 80-89% of the class high is a B 70-79% of the class high is a C 60-69% of the class high is a D Less than 60% of the class high is a F Your up to the minute grade the course will be posted on WebCampus in an anonymous spreadsheet. Log on to the WebCampus course and follow the instructions to view your grade. Attendance policy: Attendance is not required except for exams and lab practicals. If you miss an exam or lab practical... Policy on missed exams and lab practicals Lecture exam makeup policy: In order to be fair to students taking the exams on the assigned days I am extremely restrictive with makeups. You will only be allowed to take a makeup if you present a written approved excuse before the next time the class meets. You must take the makeup exam before the exam is passed back to the rest of the class, which is usually the next class. There are also other ways of doing makeup exams that are sometimes allowed such as assigning more points to later exams or the final. These options are only available for approved written excuses at my discretion. If you have missed an exam or know that you are going to miss one see me ASAP. Lab practical exam makeup policy: Since the lab practicals are very difficult to set up, makeups will only be given in exceptional circumstances with an approved written excuse. Extra credit policy: There is no extra credit in this course.
