7. Passing percentage: 60% Course outline Grading System:
Phys 13 Final Grades = 1/3 (midterm grade) + 2/3 (post midterm grade)
Term Grades = 1/3 (laboratory grade) + 2/3 (lecture grade)
Lecture grade = (obtain points from… quizzes + attendance + Exams) ÷ Total point x 100%
laboratory grade = (obtain points from… exams + Lab reports + physics research) ÷ Total point x 100%
Passing percentage: 60%
