Final:  The final exam will be cumulative based on material from the entire course.
Homework:  This will be assigned and collected, mostly for time-consuming problems.
Quizes:  There could be several short quizes ( one-two "simple" questions five-ten minutes prior to the end of lecture or before the lab starts). Quiz dates will not be announced in advance.
2. Laboratory
Expeiments are described in the CHE301 Laboratory Manual. The particular experiments (each 5% of total grade) to be done and the schedule will be given by the instructor in the laboratory. Reports should be in a digital format submitted via dropbox only Please turn in reports as soon as possible after completing an experiment (no later then one week after the experiment is done). You may see deadlines for lab reports in the laboratory schedule page. Absolutely no late submissions!
3. Grading
The lecture part of the grade will be computed based on 10% for each mid-term exam, 20 % for homework (all homework assignments), and 10% for the final exam. The lowest mid-term exam grade will be dropped. Since the lowest grade of each student will be dropped, there will be no makeup exams. The same pattern will be used for homework.
    The final exam will be cumulative, based on material from the entire semester.

The course grade will be determined by addition of lab and lecture points (100% total).
