Grading System

Requirement Percentage
Experiments 50%
Practical Exam/s 30%
Design 20%

Late for Experiment (40 minutes after start of class)

experiment grade = % class time remaining * experiment grade
Missed Experiment
1st, with valid excuse → will not be counted in the average
succeeding, with/without valid excuse → zero
no valid excuse → zero
Missed Practical Exam or Design
1st, with valid excuse → makeup practicals
succeeding, with/without valid excuse → zero
no valid excuse → zero
Note: % class time remaining will be rounded down to the nearest integer that is divisible by 5
