Course Grading

  • 0 credits: Students registered for 0 credits DO NOT have to take a final exam or complete a research project. Attendance, however, is mandatory.
  • 2 credits: Students registered for 2 credits are required to complete one take-home exam (Due: Friday, March 2, 2007). The score on that exam along with individual participation in the labs and lectures will be used to determine the final grade. This course can be taken for either a letter grade (A-F) or as pass/fail (S/N). A satisfactory (S) grade will be equivalent to a grade of C or better.
  • 3 credits: Students registered for 3 credits are also required to complete one take-home exam (see above). In addition, students must satisfactorily complete a research project, which includes a summary report or research paper, and pay an additional fee for the credit. The grade on the project will contribute to 25% of the total grade. Students who do not complete their project by the due date for submitting grades will be given an incomplete until it is satisfactorily completed.
