a) Successful completion of at least ten laboratory experiments.
b) Successful completion of the final examination.
c) Obtaining a total of at least 400 points on the grading scheme outlined below.

There are 800 points that can be scored in CHEM-321:

a) Examinations (300 points, 37.5%) -- Three 100-point examinations will be given. You are
expected to be present for all of them. If you miss an examination, see your instructor. If the absence is excusable (illness, death in the family, jury duty, etc.), your final exam score will be prorated. If the absence is not excusable, your score for that examination will be a ZERO. No "make-up" examinations will be given, for any reason.
b) Laboratory Experiments (200 points, 25%) -- Eleven laboratory experiments are scheduled.
Your ten best laboratory scores will be counted toward your laboratory grade. For more information about your laboratory grade, consult your TA.
c) Final Examination (200 points, 25%) -- American Chemical Society Standard Examination in
Organic Chemistry. Details forthcoming. Your score on the final exam will be prorated
to account for any excused absences from the other examinations -- see (a).
d) "Phantom Exam" (100 points, 12.5%)--Your best score among the three regular examinations and
the final examination will be prorated to count an extra 100 points.
