The final grades will be based on 400 points (300 points for examinations and 100 points for the laboratory)

CH203 AA ExamsThere will be three (3) ‘in-class’ examinations during theThere will be three (3) in-class examinations during the

semester (1.5 h) and a final examination (2 h). There are no "make-up" exams

If the median grade of an examination gis less than 75%, the median grade will be raised to a 75% by

adding a constant amount (not more than 20%, however) to the grade of each student. If the median grade is greater than 75%, the grades will

not be changed. You may drop one of the “in class”

examinations for any reason, but not the final examination. E h i i i h 100Each examination is worth 100 pts.

Dates of Examinations: October 1 (Thurs.), November 5 (Thurs.), and December 3 (Thurs.)

(Location: STO B50 and other rooms)(Location: STO B50 and other rooms).

Final Exam: December 17, 2008 12:30-2:30 pm. Locations: TBDDecember 17, 2008 12:30 2:30 pm. Locations: TBD
