Your percentage score in the course will translate to a numerical grade
(0-4 system) according to the standard UW grading curve.
Here you can find your final grade,
listed by student number, as well as details regarding homeworks,
in-class activities, tests, reports, and extra credit. Check with
the Professor Anderson if you have any questions.
Course
requirements and grading
Attendance on Mon-Thurs is essential and required. A large
fraction of the grade (20-25%) comes from in-class activities.
Friday review/tutorial/lab sessions are not required, but will
probably be useful to most students. Homework will be assigned
about 6 times during the term. Late homework will be accepted for
half credit. There will be one midterm and one final exam.
(Makeup exams will only be given in extreme cases and with advance
notification to the instructor.) The Report Projects (for those
getting Writing Credit) will require two short research reports on
topics assigned by the instructor. There will be extra credit
oppportunities on most homeworks. In addition, you can get extra
credit by attending suggested lectures on climate-related topics and
writing up brief reports. Grades will be determined as follows:
