Manual by the Western Oregon University Earth Science Program Instructors In addition you are expected to check my web site as a resource for classes I will post lecture slides answers to in class activities midterm key etc for your use Grading Your grade will be based on exams review questions in class activities and worksheets and your lab score Below is an itemized list of the weight of each

points 400 Points Laboratory Grade will be reported by your lab instructor Your laboratory grade will be included as 25 of your lecture grade A passing grade in lab at least 60 must be obtained to receive credit in ES 105 ES 105 Earth System Science II Winter 2007 SYLLABUS There will be at least 12 in class activities and or worksheets for homework The inclass activities must be done IN CLASS to receive points Worksheets for homework must be turned in at the next class meeting or before if you will be out of town to count for credit The lowest two scores will be dropped from your record so
