LECTURE EXAM THREE WWW Questions |

BIOS 325 COURSE GRADING: There will be three exams, each worth 100 points, covering the lecture material. These three exams will determine 60% (300 points) of the final grade. The other 40% (200 points) of the final grade will be determined by your laboratory scores. If the average of all lecture and lab scores is 70-75% the scores listed below will be used to assign letter grades. If the average of all scores is less than 70% we will consider lowering the score needed to receive the listed grades. The TA will decide whether borderline scores receive the lower or higher grade, based on your laboratory effort.
|
A= 87-100% |
B= 77-87 % |
C= 60-77% |
D= 50-60% |
E= less than 50% |
