Grading Standards

Each lab report will be worth 25 points. Points will be awarded for completeness and accuracy. Points will be deducted for disorganization and illegibility. Each lab report will be due at the beginning of the of the next lab meeting following completion of the lab. The lowest score will be dropped before grades are calculated.

13 lab reports @ 25 points each = 325 points possible

A (90% and higher) 292 points

B (80% to 90%) 260 points

C (70% to 80%) 227 points

D (60% to 70%) 195 points
