Course Grading

Grading:

Three lab exams,        20% each

 
Project presentation,   40%

Final course grade will be based on the following absolute scale:
 
90.0 and above        4.0

85.0 to 89.9             3.5

80.0 to 84.9             3.0

75.0 to 79.9             2.5

70.0 to 74.9             2.0

65.0 to 69.9             1.5

50.0 to 64.9             1.0

49.9 and below        0.0

Projects will be available the last portion of most lab sessions. They will not be graded. 

If you choose not to complete them, it is virtually guaranteed that you will not be successful in the lab exams or final projects.

Each lab test is due at the end of the lab session that the test is administered and must be saved in the proper directory, which is;

               T:\courses-test\ME\285\Sections\001\students\(username),

with the proper file name, which is;

                      \username_lab_test_#,

 to receive credit. 

If you do not save the test properly you will receive a 0 for the test.

Advanced notice is required to qualify for any make-up exam.

Without prior approval, homework, or tests will not be accepted after the due date.

You have 7 days from the date a grade is first posted to challenge a test score. After this time the score will not be changed.  

If the final project is a Group project, it will be graded as a group with a group grade.
