Tentative Grading The grade will depend on scores on lab reports and practical exams as follows. Both the manipulative and intellectual sides of the course will be graded. The scores will be added together as follows: *Failure to complete all nine (9) labs result in failure for this course! Since this is a lab course, the major portion of the grade will be for doing the experiment correctly. Since it is only a one credit course, the average work load should be about six hours, one in preparation, three in lab and two hours in calculations (most calculations should be done in lab) and filling in the report. If you are spending more time than this, you are probably not working efficiently – try to avoid distractions. Final grades will be determined according to the following conversion table (Point cut offs are subject to change at the instructor's discretion): Component Percent Completion of 9 labs* 10% 8 graded lab report sheets or formal reports 60% Midterm practical exam 12.5% Molecular Model Worksheet 7.5% Notebook 10% Average grade Final grade - - 90 - 100 4.0 85 - 89 3.5 80 - 84 3.0 75 - 79 2.5 70 - 74 2.0 65 - 69 1.5 60 - 64 1.0 0 - 60 0.0
