Grading  C336 and C338: MiniQuizzes at the end of lab lectures, 2 pts. each  C336 and C338: One Midterm Exam (100 points) on Tuesday, March 16, 14:10, in your resp. lab session. The Midterm will cover the material of lab and lab lecture during the first half of the semester.  C336: Final Exam (150 pts.) on Tuesday, May 11, 14:10, comprehensive, with special emphasis on qualitative organic analysis. The exam will be given in your respective lab session.  PLEASE NOTE: An exam not taken earns the grade F.  C338: Special Project Final Report, worth 150 pts.  Lab reports: 20 points/ lab report 1 - 4. Lab reports V and VI will be combined and will be 30 pts. Unknown reports (C336) will be 30 pts. each.  PLEASE NOTE: Late reports incur point deductions.  Lab Notebooks will be checked regularly.

Your total class grade will be calculated as follows: 40% Exams % (Midterm, plus Mini Quizzes, plus Final Exam or Project, %) 30% Lab reports % 30% Lab preparation, notebook, effort, attendance, participation.

Total class grade: >/=90% A; 85 -<90% A-; 80 -<85% B+; 75 -<80% B; 70 -<75% B-; 65 -<70% C+; 60 -<65% C; 55 -<60% C-; 50 -< 55% D+; 45 -<50% D; 40 -<45 D-; <40% F Spring 2010
