Examinations and Grading:

Three 1-hour exams:  300 points

Final:150 points

Lab:100 points

Total:550 points

Common exams for both sections of CHEM322 will be co-written by Drs. : and Koh and administered together on Saturdays as scheduled (see above)

Examples of last year’s exams for this course can be found on Dr. Sametz course site: http://www.udel.edu/chem/sametz

2010: T  Th     E1    E2    E3      MWF   E1    E2    E3      Final

The lowest of the three midterm exam grades for each student will be dropped.  There are NO “make-up” exams.  If you have an excusable absence (e.g. documented illness or death of close family member), your grade will be curved to accommodate the absence.  All other non-excused absences from exams will be assigned the grade of zero.  You must take the final exam to receive a completed grade for the course. 

Your grade will be based on the earned percentage out of the total possible points from exams+final+lab (550).  A curve will be applied to the final grades, and a plus/minus grading scale will be used.

The following grade cutoffs (percentage of total points) were used in the fall of 2009 for CHEM321, and are shown only to give an indication of what score is typical to get a certain grade. The exact cutoffs for this semester will not be determined until after the final exam.

A’s >79%
B’s69-78 (The average was a B-)
C’s 60-69%
D’s 50-60%
25% of the class got As; 38% Bs, 20% Cs, 16% Ds, 1% F.

REGADE POLICY

If you believe that there is an error in the grading of your exam, you may submit it for regarding. The following protocol MUST be followed:

1. Regrade requests must be submitted in writing within one week from the date they are returned to you.

2. You must include with your paper a written account of which questions you want regarded. 

3. You must sign your name to the written account mentioned above.

IT IS A VIOLATION OF BOTH THIS POLICY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE HONOR CODE TO CHANGE ANSWERS ON YOUR EXAMINATION BEFORE SUBMITTING THE EXAMINATION FOR REGRADING.  It is standard policy to make double-sided copies of selected exams (~20%) and to compare these copies with resubmitted exams.  Students who alter an exam answer and submit it for regrade will be prosecuted through the University of Delaware Office of Student Conduct to the fullest extent possible. It is strongly recommended that you either refrain from making study notes on your original exam, or to use a different color ink or pencil to delineate your notes from your original answer.  This will ensure that, should you wish to have a question regraded, that you will not run afoul of this policy.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

ALL violations of the University of Delaware’s Code of Conduct (e.g. copying or use of “cheat sheets” during examinations) will be prosecuted through the University of Delaware’s Office of Student Conduct to the fullest extent possible.
