Grades: grades will be determined by the following system:
1. Unit Tests 60%
2. Labs 20%
3. Final Examination 20%
Make-up work: Make-up work will be handled on an individual basis provided the student has a PREARRANGED excusable absence.
Work turned in late will be assessed a 20% penalty if one day late, 50% for two days and will not be accepted thereafter unless the student makes previous arrangements with the instructor.
