Attendance Policy

     Students should attend all class and laboratory sessions.  If a student 
must be absent, it is his/her responsibility to cover all material missed in 
lecture.  Laboratory exercises may or may not be made up, depending upon the 
exercise or materials used.  Students should consult with the instructor if a 
class or laboratory session is missed.  There are NO MAKE-UP TESTS.  If one 
test is missed, the grade on the Final Examination will substitute for the 
missed grade.  If more than one test is missed, a grade of zero will be 
assigned.   NOTE:  If a student misses three sessions, he/she may be dropped 
from the course, at the discretion of the instructor.

General course requirements:

     Students must complete four or five examinations on a broad range of 
text, lecture, and laboratory material.  Laboratory reports must be completed 
as a part of the laboratory work.  Reports MUST be submitted on time.  Late 
reports will be penalized; reports submitted after class reports have been 
returned will be graded as zero.  Periodic laboratory practical examinations 
will be administered throughout the term.  A laboratory average will be 
computed consisting of the average of all graded lab reports (30%) and the 
average of the periodic laboratory practical examinations (70%). A final 
examination covering the entire semester's work will be administered on the 
final day of class.  NOTE:  Cell phone use is prohibited during class and 
laboratory!

Grading criteria:  The final grade will be computed directly as the average 
of the following three grades:   
                       1/3  Average of tests
                       1/3  Laboratory average
                       1/3  Final Examination

Students should periodically check the instructor’s web site for 
announcements, helpful web sites, grades, etc.
