20% |
| One, three-hour, self scheduled final exam, cummulative from January | 28% |
| Credit for written answers to worksheets and written out mechanisms to flashcards | 6% |
| Attendance | 4% |
| 100% |
The
lecture part of the course is worth 70% of the organic chemistry
grade. The lab is worth
30%. At the end of the
course, the grade earned in lecture will be scaled down to a score
based on 70 total points.
This grade will be added to your laboratory grade which will
be scaled to 30. Upon
combination, the undergraduate grades will be considered and grades
on the 4.0 scale will be assigned. With each exam,
students will be given an idea as to how they are doing on the 4.0
scale. The instructor
will curve grades when averages are significantly below
75%.
