                          Grading:        The following factors will be used to arrive at the final course grade:


Homework                         10 %

                                                       Exam I                     20 %
Exam II                    20 %
Design Projects         25 %
Final Exam                        25 %

 

 

                 Grading Scale:        Grades will be assigned to the following scale:

 

                                                       A      90 - 100 %
B      80 - 89 %
C      70 - 79 %
D      60 - 69 %
F      < 60 %

 

                                               These are guaranteed maximum scales and may be revised downward at the instructor's discretion.

 

                      Homework:        Homework is due before class begins each day.  Copying is not permitted  

 

                            Exams:        No make-ups for missed exams will be given.  If you have attended 75% of the lectures and have 75% on the homework, and you have a legitimate excuse for missing an exam (e.g., significant illness family emergency), the first missed exam will be scored by taking 90% of the average of the other exams.  Subsequent missed exams will be scored as zero.  Note this policy does not mean that you can “drop” one exam!

 

                    Ethics Policy:        Academic misconduct will not be tolerated.  It will result in a failing grade and may result in further disciplinary action by the University.  For details see the Academic Misconduct section of the Timetable.
