=========================================
Your Laboratory work will contribute one fourth of your final letter grade while your work
in the lecture section will contribute the remaining three fourths.
Letter grades are calculated on a curve generated by this class only. The laboratory midterm
and final examinations are each 50 minutes long and are together worth 117 points. The lecture
midterm and final examinations are each 50 minutes long and are each worth 175 points.
Additional credit points will be given as follows:
10 points for the class crossword puzzle correct and turned in on time,
10 points for volunteering as a subject for a research project sponsored by a
Psychology faculty member.
Increase of either 1/3, 2/3 or 1 of the course letter grade by an extra credit term
paper due by the day of the final exam.
