Lab Grading

67% of the grade will be given when technical tasks are completed and clearly documented; 33% will be given for clear documentation.

Note that for technical tasks, many labs are graded on a curve, such that students that put in more effort or have more significant results score higher, even if all tasks are completed.

We typically receive most questions regarding the documentation. Here are some guidelines:

Slip days

All students will be allowed two one-week extensions, which can be applied to any lab. Details to follow.
