Make Up Exams?
There will be no make-up exams, unless you have presented a superior reason. This reason must be presented before the exam is given, except for serious medical emergencies. In all cases, be prepared to provide documentation to verify your reason for missing the exam. Appropriate document includes a medical excuse from student health services, a letter on a physician's letterhead with phone number, signed and dated police report, etc. Holiday or vacation travel cannot be accepted as an excuse, especially for a final, so please plan ahead of time. Submission of an excuse automatically gives consent for its verification.
Course Grade?
You will not receive a letter grade on individual exams. Your final course grade will be determined based on the grading scale below. Note, I may choose to adjust the grading scale in the event that exam averages are lower than I anticipate (this will only work to your benefit).
>95 = A+
90.0–94.9 = A
85.0–89.9 = A–
80.0–84.9 = B+
75.0–79.9 = B
70.0–74.9 = B–
63.0–69.9 = C+
56.0–62.9 = C
50.0–55.9 = C–
43.0–49.9 = D+
36.0–42.9 = D
30.0–35.9 = D–
Extra Credit?
The TAs can assign up to 3% extra points to those who actively participate in discussion sections. These points will be added to your weighted exam average before your letter grade is assigned.
Note: you are only eligible for extra credit if you have a clicker device (must be registered). See Clicker page for details.
There will likely be a second extra credit opportunity available toward the end of the quarter. For the 2010 Chem 14D extra credit results, click here.
