Grading

Your course grade derives from the weighting:

Homework 10%
``Preflight''s & Workshop Participation 10%
Laboratory 10%
Midterm Exams (total) 40%
Final exam 30%

I reserve the right to change this grading scheme, but I will notify you as soon as possible if such a change takes place.

I plan to use the following grade scale on a 100 point scale: 85-100: A or A-; 70-84: B+, B or B-; 55-69 C+, C or C-; below 55 D or F. I reserve the right to lower the standards for a given grade (e.g., I may announce that I will make 83 the lowest A), but I will not revise the scale upward.
