Evaluation method and criteria

The final grade will be composed of “Class participation, Team work and Companionship (50%),” and, ”Final reports (50%)”

Emphasis in the Report submission and evaluation (the Final Exam) will be placed upon
Identification of the proper instrument to be used in a given situation
Accuracy in measurement of quantities from these instruments
Representation of datasheets and maps/models

Evaluation:
S = 100% - 90%, A = 89% - 80%, B = 79% - 70%, C = 69% - 60%, D < 60%
