Grading
Grades
are based on the following:
Individual Instructor
Exercises.
Each instructional module will be graded
by that instructor, with assistance from
the TA. Typically this will involve some
combination of a lab or homework
assignment and/or a take home quiz. Lab
and homework assignments typically will
be completed individually, as will any /
all quizzes. The percentage grade
for each of the instructional modules
will be averaged to develop the score
for this component. This
represents 75% of the final grade.
Final Exam. The final exam is scheduled
for Wednesday 14th December 2016 from
8:30 - 10:20 AM in MEB 246. The final exam
is given a weight of 18% of the final
grade.
Participation
/ Effort. Students are expected
to participate actively in class and
be engaged in all class and field
activities. If you are not
present, by definition you are
disengaged. This represents 7%
of the final grade
Please NOTE: Lab attendance
is REQUIRED. Also, all work is expected
when due. Work turned in late without
prior approval will be docked 10% for
every day it is late. Extenuating
circumstances will be considered on a
case-by-case basis. NOTE WELL: There
will be little opportunity for making up
missed labs. ESRM 304 has two lab sessions
(same material; students sign up for one
only) on Tue. and Wed. both at
12:30-4:20. Opportunity to make up
labs is limited to attending the lab on
the other scheduled lab day provided prior
arrangements were made with the current
module instructor. In the case of an
extreme, sudden emergency, arrangements
for making up a lab in an alternate way
may be possible; check with the module
leader for the lab that was missed in a
timely manner. The lowest grade on a
lab will be dropped and the rest of the
scores averaged.
Final
Grade Calculation:
Weighted
grade percentage scores are converted to
grade points using the University of
Washington standard scale.
Grades will be assigned by the
instruction team after consideration of
the typical level of student
preparation, effort, and the rigor
commonly associated with, and expected
in, 300-level courses, and in this
course in particular.
Individual student performance,
team member achievements on team
projects, and the general achievement
level of all class participants will be
acknowledged in the final grade
assignment.
Academic
Integrity
Plagiarism,
cheating,
and other misconduct are serious
violations of your contract as a
student. We expect that you will know
and follow the University's policies on
cheating and plagiarism. Any suspected
cases of academic misconduct will be
handled according to University
regulations. More information, including
definitions and examples, can be found
