Special regulations affecting the final grade (e.g. requirement to pass the
final examination or to pass the laboratory to pass the course): Each of the
above components will be given a letter grade using the official University
grading system. The final grade will be calculated using the grade point
equivalents weighted by the percentages given above and then reconverted to
a final letter grade using the official University grade point equivalents.

Academic misconduct (cheating, plagiarism, or any other form) is a very serious

sections of the University Calendar under the heading "Student Misconduct"
(pages 50-53 for 2003-2004).
