COURSE EVALUATION/GRADING SCHEME

The Chemistry 1105  Laboratory will consist of 14 laboratory experiments.  These labs will be worth 20 points each and are scheduled according to the attached sheet.  During the final laboratory period there will be a laboratory quiz worth 100 points.

                                                14 experiments x 20 points                        = 280 points

                                                Laboratory quiz                                = 100 points

                                                          Total                 380 points

For each experiment that is completed a laboratory report that consists of the data page, and the pre-lab exercise must be handed in at the end of the laboratory class meeting.  For each laboratory experiment, a grade will be available at the beginning of the next laboratory meeting after the lab report has been submitted.
