The following information is very important and should be carefully noted by each student.
The lecture part of the course is worth 70% of the organic chemistry grade. The lab is worth 30%. At the end of the course, the grade earned in lecture will be scaled down to a score based on 70 total points. This grade will be added to your laboratory grade which will be scaled to 30. Upon combination, the undergraduate grades will be considered and grades on the 4.0 scale will be assigned. With each exam, students will be given an idea as to how they are doing on the 4.0 scale. The instructor will curve grades when averages are significantly below 75%.
Quizzes: In class on Friday AM, 10-15 minutes, announced on prior Monday.
Important for your grade worksheets and flashcard work. You will be directed on two ocassions to turn these in and they will be returned rapidly.
