Final Exam: Counts 150 points of total 450. Saturday December 11, 9-12 Noon: Room TBA

 

Grading System

Each of the three interim exams given during the semester has a maximum possible score of 100 points. The maximum possible score on the final examination is 150 points, giving a grand total of 450 possible points. The instructor will provide an approximate or orientational curve after each of the interim exams,but the final course grade will be determined solely from the total scores for the course, applying an appropriate "curve" which is based in large part upon accumulated experience in this course. Typically, approximately 380/450 total points are required for an "A", while about 330/450 points are required for a "B". The lowest "C" grade is typically about 225/450, and the lowest "D" grade about 200/450.

Regrade Policy

Requests for regrading of exams will be honored up to a deadline of one week after the graded exam is returned to the student. However, no exam written in pencil, or written in ink but having white-out or substantial mark-throughs or scratch-outs, will be accepted for regrading. Students are required to first examine the answer key and consider the desired answer in detail before handing in the exam for re-grading. They should also understand that the standards of the instructor for the course may be substantially different (higher) than their own. Students requesting regrades must attach a cover sheet (available in the Lower Division Chemistry Office) to their exam indicating what question or questions are at issue and, briefly, what the issue is. The exam and its cover sheet must be given to the lecture TA or Professor Bauld either at class time or during office hours. The regraded exam will be returned to the Lower Division Chemistry Office, where it can be picked up. No exam will be regraded after the one week deadline, but corrections of numerical (addition) errors can be requested at any time. The instructor reserves the right to re-grade the entire exam, and re-graded papers may have their scores increased or decreased.

Scholastic Dishonesty policy

Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. You are expected to have read and understood the current issue of General Information Catalog, published by the Registrar's Office, for information about procedures and about what constitutes scholastic dishonesty.
