Student Evaluation:
- End of chapter homework (20 points each)
- Midterm tests (100 points each)
- Comprehensive final exam (150 points)
- Labs planning, execution and reports (20 points / lab)
Each student is expected to complete the weekly lab assignments during
lab time. Even though some labs May be performed as a group, the report
is to be completed individually, and due on the following lab period.
Note: In order to be eligible to receive a passing grade for the
course, all labs and assignments must be completed and turned in prior
to final exam date.
Timeliness:
Points are only awarded for tests, quizzes, labs and projects that are completed and delivered on the assigned due dates and times. In all other instances, zero points will be awarded unless the student has made prior arrangements with the instructor.
Course Letter Grade:
Final class letter grade will be awarded based on the total percent of possible points earned by each student as outlined below:
| A |

Conduct:
Students are required to read and follow the Student Responsibilities and Code of Student Conduct as outline in the institute's Catalog.
Cheating/Plagiarism: You are expected to do your own work. Copying or rewriting someone else's online or offline work, having someone else do your work, or cheating in any fashion will result in zero point for that test or assignment in addition to penalties prescribed by college policies. A second offense will result in an automatic 'F' for the class.
Computer or Equipment Misuse: Students are expected to obey the Equipment and Computer Usage Guidelines. Students who misuse the equipments or computers will be expelled from the class and/or lab.
