COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
 Reading must be completed prior to the class for which it is assigned
 Student must come to class with all necessary material and books
 Students must participate in ALL laboratory activities
 Students must complete and hand in all lab exercises on time
EVALUATION METHODS:
Attendance/participation:
P/F, (5%) attendance is required, see ATTENDANCE below
Laboratory Grade:
Exercise Grade
25%
Practical Test (3)
75%
FINAL GRADE = 50% Lecture, 50% lab
A failing average in either Lecture or Lab will result in an F final grade for the course.
Students are expected to attend each lecture and laboratory session on a regular and punctual
basis and to complete assignments in a timely fashion.
All students are allowed one absence.
On the 2nd absence a paper/essay/research assignment (topic chosen by the instructor) must be
completed. It must be handed in within two weeks or a reduction of the final grade by one-half
grade is assessed.
On the 3rd absence there is a reduction of one full grade.
On the 4th absence the person receives an “F”.
THERE ARE NO MAKEUPS TESTS FOR LAB EXAMS!
THE STUDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING TRACK OF ATTENDENCE, GRADES,
AND ARRANGING ATTENDENCE ASSIGNMENT IF NEEDED.
ACCOMMODATIONS or ADAPTIONS
If you are a student with a disability seeking accommodations under the Americans with
Disability Act or Section 504, The Rehabilitation Act, please see the Department Director or
Assistant Director at the soonest possible time for special arrangements, seating, and other
