Basis of Grading:
The first two bullets above, Laboratory reports and Homework…, total 50% of the course grade. Thus one could perform quite well on the examinations but not turn in any homework or lab reports and receive a failing grade for the class.
I expect you to read ahead in preparation for class. Often, I will give a quiz at the begining of the lecture to test your preparedness. Late for class? I would rather have you came in and learned something than miss the class entirely, but this is disruptive. Notice also that if you are late, you might miss a quiz and this will hurt your final grade for the course.
Homework and Laboratory reports can and should be done in collaboration with fellow students and with help from the teaching assistants (this does not mean copying off other students’ work! Collaboration is the key word.), but Quizzes and the Examinations need to reflect the individual's state of learning.
