Laboratory Report
Laboratory Report of each project must adhere to the style guide practice at the college. Click the hypertext for detail.
Grades Policy on Incomplete Work:
All works must be completed by the end of semester. In an exceptional case only will an incomplete will be issued, in such case we will follow the rules set forth in the current publication of the College Catalog on Incomplte Grades. Please click the hypertext for detail.
Grading
Course grade is based on the following distribution:
Exam #1 - 15%
Exam #2 - 15%
Final - 30%
Lab Projects - 30%
Attendance - 10% (exam day don't count) (1% increment will be accumulated in the Blackboard under the 'Gradebook' each week you are present, total not to exceed 10%).
Missed Exam
Due to unforeseen situation one may fail to take an exam. Ordinarilly make-up is held some later time. We believe this practice is unfair to those who took the test on time. So we will institute a no make-up policy. In this case, the final exam score will be raised to include the weight assign to the exam. As a reminder, final exam is much more difficult, they are comprehensive and covers all the materials in the course.
Homeworks and/ Late Projects
Everyone must do all the problems in each chapters. Some of these will appear in the exam with minor changes. Points will be deducted on late project.
