Lab Evaluation of Student Performance: Students will be graded based on two (2)
forms of criteria:
Lab Write-ups: 2
sets @ 25 points each 50 pts
Group Experiment
Presentation 1
@ 100 points 100
pts
Class
attendance/Participation 50 pts
Total 200
pts
Lab Write-ups: Are
experimental lab reports written in scientific journal format. The write-ups are 3 pages in length (not
counting graphs and bibliography).
They are based on laboratory experiments completed during the laboratory
sessions. There are 5
instructor-run laboratory experiments, of which the students are required to
write-up two (2). Students are
required to participate in each lab experiment regardless of whether the
student is writing up that lab or not.
Construction and formatting of the lab write-up is demonstrated in the
lab writing handout. Scoring of the
lab write-up will be based on criteria demonstrated in the lab. IT
MUST BE TYPED (computer/typewriter).
Must have your name, Student ID
#, lab section, and date at the top of the page. Single or double spaced with a font size
no larger than 12 pt and no smaller than 10 pt. They can only be turned in on the
set due dates and no more than one (1) can be turned at a time. In an effort to remain fair to everyone,
Lab Reports are to
handed in by 15 mins. after
the start of your lab section on the assigned dates (see syllabus). NO
LATE PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.NO LATE
PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. These
papers can be emailed to me, but must be in my email box by 15 mins. after the start of your lab section. Emailed papers must have your name, Student ID #, and lab section
included in the email and on the attached paper.
Group Experiment Presentation and Paper: During the last 3-4 weeks of class each
team of students will propose, conduct, analyze and present data on a research
project undertaken by that team.
The presentation is a 30 min. slide presentation following the form
outlined in lab. These are team
projects. One score will be given
for the team as a whole for each of these assignments. Further info given in
lab.
Grades: Final
grades will be based on the following percentages of the total possible points
in the course (both lab and lecture combined):
A = 90 - 100%
(>
495 points)
B = 80 - 89% (440
- 494 points)
C = 70 - 79%
(385
- 439 points)
D = 60 - 69%
(330
- 384 points)
F = < 60%
(<
329 points)
Student Conduct
General:
You are expected to know
and observe all “Rules of Student Conduct”, found in the CCSF
Catalog. Your behavior in lectures
and laboratories must not infringe the personal rights of other students,
adversely affect their physical or mental health and safety; or result in an
atmosphere not conducive to learning.
In other words, BE COURTEOUS TO YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS.
