Passport to Science:

Starting in September  Passport to Science    program
        This is away to earn up to 10 bounus points through
                 the end of the semester by:

                1) meeting with a Geology 101 TA and significantly

                      discussing your research project; and
                2) attending events sponsored by the Common
                        Reading Program - click on link below for eligible events 

                                     http://commonreading.wsu.edu/calendar/

          The passports will be passed out or you may pick-up your
          passport the week of January 15 or thereafter.  To receive
          credit attend and get your passport stamped or afix the
          documentation for each event from CougSync to the booklet.
                Instructions for documenting your attendance
          You will turn in your passport at your lecture during
          dead week so your bonus points can be tallied and recorded.          


      Information on the Order of the Crimson Key, prizes, 
      scholarships and tickets to the Premier of Ready Player One
      in Pullman and Upcoming Gold Key Bonus point events

    If you have any questions please contact me.

  
 Clicker On-Line Registraton
      An on-line WSU registration system for the iclickers is now available.  You will need register your iclicker here by clicking on the appropriate link below.   Please follow the instructions.

Lecture Grades

Grades are posted by the last 5 digits of your WSU ID number in numerical order.  If there are duplicate numbers then the number is followed by the first letter of the first name. 
 
Grade reminder:          
As stated in the course syllabus you must receive at least a 60% in lecture and at least 60% in lab to pass the course.  If you are lower than 60% in either you will fail the course.  If you have 3 or more unexcused lab absences then you fail the course.  An excused absence means you made up the missed lab. 

   At the end of the grade sheet after all the lecture scores you will find:
          1) lecture final exam score (number of correct points out of 130pts)
                   so look in the next column for the final exam % (highlighted);
          2) total lecture points and lecture%. 
          3) total lab points and lab%;
          4) combined lecture and lab points and the course%;
          5) I have added two more columns # lecture absences which
              is based on the number of days with 0 values for iclickers;
          6) attendance bump; if there are 5 or fewer absences then
               the next column will have a 0.5% value which will be
               added into the course average.
          7) the next column (course% + bump) is the adjusted
               course average.
               Your final letter grade is based on the adjusted course
                average and the grading scale in the lecture syllabus. 
                There is no rounding. The attendance bump is designed to
                 take care of students near the grade break.

         I will post the letter grade when I have finish calculating them.

         Sec 1                  (MWF 10:10am)          updated May 5
         Sec 2                  (MWF 1:10pm)           updated May 5

Please check your scores for accuracy, if you see an error in the lecture please bring me the original paper so the recording error can be corrected.

If you believe your lab score is not correct then please check the Blackboard site for your lab scores and contact your TA if there are any recording errors.
 

Have you picked up all your Assignments, Quizzes, and Exams?
   Any quizzes, exams, homework, and in-class assignments that have not been picked up during class are available in the brown cabinet on the left as you enter Geology Tutor office (Webster 152).  Ask the TA on duty to open the cabinet and retrieve your papers. 
   Labs which were not picked up/returned are also filed in this cabinet by lab section number.  Ask the TA for assistance in retrieving your labs.

    Research Project information
                                       
         The research project is an intergal part of the lab.  Information
         about the research project is available on the lab Blackboard site. 
         Your lab TA will explain about the requirements and due dates.

                  The idea of the research project is to have you apply what you are learning
                  in this course.  The topics are not limited to lectuure or lab.  You are
                  encouraged to work on the prject early and talk with your TA or myself
                  about your project and photos.  The only restriction is that the project and
                   photos can not be within Pullman or along the Pullman-Moscow highway. 
                  You may use photos you have taken from previous trips but clear this with
                  your Lab TA.  Photos taken from the Internet are not acceptable and are
                  considered plariarism.
