Course Evaluation

Your course grade will be based on your performance on both lecture and laboratory activities:

• The lecture portion of your grade (75%) will be determined by your performance on four 75-point examinations. These examinations will be a combination of approximately 30 multiple-choice, matching-multiple-choice, and true-false questions. If you miss either of the first three examinations for a reason acceptable to me, you may take an essay make-up examination within one week after the date of the one you missed.
• The laboratory portion of your grade (25%) will be determined by your performance on two 25-point laboratory examinations, two laboratory notebook assessments (5 points for the first one, and 15 points for the second), two 10-point laboratory reports, and unannounced quizzes (10 points total). Although you are expected to participate in every laboratory exercise, you will be allowed one excused absence. Each additional absence will result in deduction of 10 points from your cumulative course points.
• An extra credit opportunity will be available ... as described on the Extra Credit web page.

Plagiarism and other infractions of Miami University rules and regulations will be dealt with as described in the Miami University Handbook (pay particular attention to Part V Academic Misconduct and especially to SECTION 01.502).

Your course grade will be determined using the following scale:

Cheating on any aspect of this course may make you subject to immediate dismissal from the class with a grade of F.
