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.
