Determination of Final Grade	Each of the 4 lab exams will count 20% toward your final lab average. Any exam not taken will receive a grade of "0". No grades are dropped when calculating course average. The average of Mastering A&P (MAP) assignments will count for 20% of your final lab average. Assignments complete after the due date will have a late penalty assessed. Assignments not completed will receive a grade of "0". No assignments can be completed after 12/2. Calculating your LAB Average: Lab Extra Credit = (RLB quiz/20) + (OO & Course Policies quiz/20) + (DB1 /4) + (DB2 /4) + Group Project Lab Average = (Lab Ex1 + Lab Ex2 + Lab Ex3 + Lab Ex4 + MAP average + Lab Extra Credit) / 5
