Evaluation: 2 major exams,
2 quizzes, and 10 assignments comprise 85% of the final mark; the lab component accounts for 15% of the final grade. The final course mark is normally calculated in the following way:
Assignments 10 %
2 quizzes 20 %
Mid-year exam 20 %
Final exam 35 %
Lab 15 %
100 %
The lecture component (85%) and the lab component (15%) must
each be passed
separately in order to receive a passing grade for the course. The
passing grade for the lab is 65%. In addition, if a student fails to complete more than
3 labs (for whatever reason), a failing grade will be assigned for the course. A complete lab means carrying out the designated procedure and submitting a completed lab
report for that procedure.
