The lowest midterm exam will be dropped.

The laboratory grade (250 pts.) will be based on weekly quizzes, 1 lab report, 2 problem sets, and weekly study questions. A failure in either the laboratory or lecture could result in a failing grade for the entire course. See the lab grading policies page for details. There are 600 possible points for the course (remember, one midterm exam and one lab quiz are dropped). Make-up examinations The lowest midterm exam will be dropped. We do not give makeup exams - if you miss a midterm, that will be the dropped exam. It is to your advantage to take all three of the lecture mid-terms, in order to give yourself the best chance of a high grade.
