Instructors In addition you are expected to check my web site as a resource for classes http www wou edu brownk I will post lecture slides answers to in class activites midterm key etc for your use There will be at least 12 in class activities for points in this class and review questions for homework The in class activities must be done IN CLASS to receive points The lowest two scores will be

discuss the answers to review questions any day before lecture begins Do the questions each week and turn in at the midterm and before the final exam Each review question set is worth 25 points toward your lecture grade ES 105 Earth System Science II SYLLABUS Grading Points Letter Grade A 100 90 400 360 B 89 80 359 320 C 79 70 319 280 D 69 60 279 240 F less than 60 239 000 Plus and Minus Grades may
