Office hours in MP-426:  Thursday 9:00 am -12:00 pm, by appointment, and by e-mail.
Homeworkis due at the beginning of class on the specified dates.
Lab write-ups are due by 4:30 pm on the same date.
One 8.5"x11" sheet of basic equations (both sides) is allowed for each Mid-Exam and two such sheets for the Final Exam. You may also use a scientific calculator that does not include word-processing capability. Latptops, PDA's, books, notes and detailed problem solutions are specifically prohibited. Boise State's Academic Honesty Policy will be enforced, so please ask if in doubt.

Grading is based on your 26 best out of 28 labs at 30 points each 780pt
Individual project at 50 pts
8 Homework at 25 points each 200pts
2 Exams at 100 points each 200pts
Final Review Exam at 200pts

Total possible = 1430 points. Grading is on a curve with the following guarantees:

A+ > 95% and 26 labs completed
A 91-94% and 26 labs completed
A- 88-90% and 26 labs completed
B+ 88-85% and at least 24 labs completed
B 80-84% and at least 24 labs completed
B- 75-79% and at least 24 labs completed
C+ 70-74% and at least 21 labs completed
C 65-69% and at least 21 labs completed
C- 60-64% and at least 21 labs completed

Borderline cases will be determined by performance on the Final Review Exam and class participation.
