Class Policies
Attendance is expected. You will be tested primarily on the lectures. Late assignments will be penalized.
Grading will be on a 10 point scale: 90-100 = A, 80-90 = B, etc.
The average grade for the course will be no lower than a B-.
Your final grade for E&ES 226 will be calculated thusly:
Test 1
20%
Test 2
20%
Project
30%
Labs
25%
Class participation
5%
The final grade for E&ES 228 will consist of your laboratory write-ups.
The Project
You will select a collaborative project using remote sensing data sets. Details will be given in class.
