Grading System:
Physics 21 Final Grade = 1/3 Midterm Grade + 2/3 Post Midterm grade
Term Grade = 1/3 Lecture Grade + 2/3 Laboratory Grade
Lecture Grade = (Quizzes, Long exams, & Attendance) ÷ Total Points
Laboratory Grade = (Exams, lab reports, projects & Attendance) ÷ Total Points
Passing percentage : 60%
Requirements: Assignments, lab reports, projects, & Problems Sets
Class Policy:
PASS BOTH (lec & lab)
NO REMOVAL EXAM
