Lecture Classroom and designated geology lab room with storage/housing of
specimens of minerals, rocks, fossils and other geology-related teaching
materials.
Grading Components are:
• the “Lecture Average” = 75% of Student’s Overall Course Grade
• the “Course Final/EXIT” = 25% of Student’s Semester Course Grade
The “Lecture Average” is defined as the numerical average of components A, B, & C listed below. The average of
these three components will constitute 75% of the “Student’s Overall Course Grade” and consists of:
A. At least 3 major Lecture Exams (Not including the Final/EXIT)
B. 1 - Essay/Term Paper (Grade equally weighted as a lecture exam)
C. 1 - Group Power Point Project (no less than 5% of Lecture Grade)
The Final/EXIT:
D. The Course Final/EXIT accounts for the last 25% of the student’s Overall Course Grade”
The Student’s Overall Course Grade is compiled by:
(“Lecture Average” times 3) plus (Final/EXIT grade), and divide all by 4 will equal the “Overall Student Course
Grade”
90 – 100 = A
80 - 89 = B
70 - 79 = C
60 - 69 = D
Below 60 = F
