The final is a cumulative exam worth 200 points. It will include questions from guest lectures, and from the assigned readings as well as from the lecture. Its style will be a combination of the first and second midterm. That is, there will be short answer questions and also problems to solve.
13 labs worth 5-15 points each for a total of 150 points. Unless otherwise specified, all labs are due at the beginning of the next lab period. Unless arrangements have been made with the instructor, late labs will loose 3% of the total points for each day they are late - including weekends.
Amount varies according to contributions to classroom discussion but no more than 50 points can be added to your final score. And, of course, your final score with bonus points can not exceed 100%.
Total points 650 pts including bonus points

* Points for field trips are based on attendance. Only absences with
prior approval of the instructor will receive credit. Otherwise no credit
will be given when a field lab is missed. It is strongly recommended that
you make every effort to attend these particular labs, because they can not
be made up on your own.
