Your grade will be calculated based on the four following scores:
GRADE:
Three hour exams .........................3 x 15% = 45%
Lab experiments & lab quizzes....................... 25%
Lecture quizzes/problem sets.......................... 10%
Final exam ..................................................... 20%
Total ............................................................ 100%
Students who are retaking Chem 116 may be excused from the experimental laboratory if their previous lab grade was 75 or better. A student desiring to be excused from lab must discuss this possibility with the instructor before the end of the first week of the semester. Previous lab grades can be obtained from records kept in Room 100. Only the lecture instructor can excuse a student from the laboratory. Grades for students who have been excused from the lab will be determined as follows:
Three hour exams .........................3 x 20% = 60%
Lecture quizzes/problem sets.......................... 15%
Final exam ..................................................... 25%
Total ............................................................ 100%
Previous lab grades will NOT be counted. Students who took the lab prior to the Fall 1997 semester must take the laboratory portion of the course.

WITHDRAWALS AND "I" GRADES: Students are sometimes confused about the requirements for a grade of "Incomplete", assuming it is a "late W". No withdrawals from individual courses are allowed after the mid-point of the semester (April 7). "I" grades can be given only after the mid-point of the semester. To receive an "I" the student must be passing the course with a C grade or better at the midpoint of the semester and then be prevented from completing the course successfully due to illness or a family crisis. The student must provide documentation that the illness or family emergency makes it impossible for the student to complete the course with a passing grade.
