Your final grade will be one combined grade, weighted by your lab and lecture grades as follows:

Final Grade = 0.6 (Lecture Grade) + 0.4 (Lab Grade)

This is to reflect the relative number of credits associated with the lecture and lab.

We will grade each of you on the quality of your work; we will not grade on a curve.

Because the assignments are essential for helping you keep up with the topics, we expect you will make every effort to turn all assignments in on time. Late assignments (without prior approval) will have a 10% penalty subtracted for each day late.
