5. You will be graded on a total points system with approximate breakdowns of:  Total Points 2000-2300  Labs (25 pts. each)  Homework (10pts each)  Quizzes (10-40pts each)  Tests (100-150 pts each)  Projects (50 pts each – 1-2 per semester)

6.  Coursework will be assigned so that 30% of the student’s grade comes from daily activities, homework, quizzes and class work with the other 70% coming from scores on major assessments, essay assignments, lab reports and major projects. Assignments within each category will be worth different point values based on the expectations of those assignments.
