Bring a SCANTRON form for the exams, a scoring pencil, a calculator with good batteries, you may also use your lecture notes but no textbooks will be permitted. An extra exam will be given during the last lab period time that will replace the lowest score on exams 1-5 if you elect this option. You must sign up and let me know if you want to take this optional exam. Exam 5, the Final Exam will consist of both multiple choice questions and problems similar to those covered in the lecture and homework. Exam 5 is double-weighted and will not be dropped in the overall averaging. You may also use your class notes for Exam 5.

Exam 1 = 100 pts Your score____
Exam 2 = 100 pts Your score____
Exam 3 = 100 pts Your score____
Exam 4 = 100 pts Your score____
Exam 5 = 200 pts Your score____
Your best 5 test scores total = ____
Divide this total by 6 = ____
Multiply the previous line by
70% or 0.70 = ____(1)
Laboratory Report Scores = 25 %
For your lab scores add the best 9 out of 10 lab reports completed and graded to get a total of ______pts, then divide by nine and multiply by 25% or 0.25 to obtain = ______(2)

Homework = 5% You will receive 5 percentage points if all of your homework is completed and handed in on time. You will receive full credit for each problem worked if:
- You show reasonable work-you do not have to obtain the exact answer.
- All problems show calculations and steps. Just showing the answer alone will not receive credit.
- All problems are in the correct numerical order by chapter when handed in.
- Your calculations are legible for me to follow.
- You place your name on every page handed in.
Homework problems for each unit covered (there are 4 units) will be due by the next lecture meeting following the completion of that unit. Homework not turned in by that day will receive a 20% deduction per day. Homework more than two (2) days late will not be graded. For the homework grade add up the total homework points and convert to a %, based on 5% maximum.
Unit 1 Ch15___Ch16___Ch17___Ch18__Unit 2 Ch19___Ch20___Ch21___ Unit 3 Ch22___Ch23___Ch24___Ch25___
Unit 4 Ch26___Ch27___Ch28___Ch29___Ch30___
Homework % = ______(3)
It is a good idea to keep copies of your assignments.
Next, add (1), (2), and (3) from above to compare to the following scale:
Grading Scale: 90.0 and above = A
80.0 and above = B
70.0 and above = C
60.0 and above = D
