Course Grading Policy: There will be 8-10 Laboratory Assignments each worth 10 points. All lab assignments will be averaged to determine course grade using the following scale:
| Grade Earned | Lab Average | |
|---|---|---|
| A | 90 or above | |
| B | 80 or above | |
| C | 70 or above | |

Attendance Policy: Attendance in this lab class is required and will be taken. Students are responsible for all material and assignments given in lab whether they are present or not. I do not withdraw students due to absences so if you stop attending lab a grade of F will be assigned for the course grade. It is the responsibility of every student to withdraw before the semester withdrawal date if it becomes obvious the course will not be completed.Attendance is mandatory for all labs.
Late Lab Assignments:
Assignments will be accepted up to 2 weeks past the original due date
for a MAXIMUM grade of 7 out of 10, if working and correct.
Academic Integrity: All assignments and projects are expected to be completed by individual effort only. Students may get help from others on assignments but everyone is expected to turn in his or her own work. Copying another's work and turning it in as one's own is a violation of academic honesty and the student may receive an F for the course if this occurs. Students should refer to the St. Edward's University Academic Integerity Policy for further information.
Information Technolgy Policy: All students are expected to comply with the St. Edward's University Information Technology Policy . Violations of this policy can result in loss of technolgy privileges as well as disciplinary or legal action.
Incompletes: A grade of incomplete is assigned at the end of the semester only if a student (1) Has attended class regularly, (2) Has completed most of the required course work, and (3) Is unable to complete the course because of an emergency beyond the student's control. Incompletes are NOT assigned to give a student the opportunity to do extra credit work to receive a higher grade. A written request for an incomplete must be submitted to the instructor before the last day of class. All incompletes must be approved by the Dean of Natural Sciences.
