One of our core objectives in a course like Physics is to make sure we are preparing students who are college-ready. One of the key aspects of preparing students for college-level science courses is developing strong scientific writing habits. As a result, writing is heavily emphasized in most assignments and labs completed in this course. Students' grades are calculated on a (Points Earned) / (Points Possible) basis. The usual point breakdown for assignments is as follows:
Lab Write-ups: 20 points
Homework Assignments: 10 points
Tests and Projects: 100 points
