GRADING POLICY: [(Best 2 of 3 Exams)+(Final Exam)]/3 = Final Average
NOTES: No make-up exams will be given. Incremental points from the class average will also be considered in final grade determination. Requests for regrades should involve substantial errors or mistakes in addition. These requests should be made in writing to Professor Borowitz on a "REGRADE" form obtained in 318H along with the exam in question prior to the next hourly exam. The entire exam will be regraded. Because of the intense nature of this course and the limitations inherent in taking it in the summer, no exceptions can be made to these procedures.Sample exams are on reserve in the Chemistry library (4th Floor Chandler) and will be found on the course page at http://www.columbia.edu/itc/chemistry/chem-s3443/.
Take advantage of the recitations and office hours with the recitator and the computer-assisted learning exercises.
