• In order to receive lab science credit, you must take GLG 104 in accompanyment with GLG 102.
• GLG 102 & 104 are two separate classes, with two separate grades, however it is HIGHLY recommended that they be taken concurrently.

A separate grade is given for this one-credit class and will be determined as follows (out of a total possible 285 points):

1. Labs require full partcipation and attendance. Each lab is worth 10 points (1 lab/week), for a total of 150 points. Portions of the lab may be collected, graded, and given back to put back into your notebook. .
2. Quizzes: there will be a weekly assessment at the beginning of most labs, worth 10 points each for a total of 120 points.
