What do you mean by the “lowest experiment grade” being dropped? What does that include?

The lowest experiment grade includes all assignments for a particular experiment. Each experiment is worth the same amount of points regardless of what assignments there are.

  • For example, Experiment 3 has an Achieve pre-lab, Smart Worksheet assignment, a peer review, a report, and a screenshot.
  • If the total points earned for Experiment 3 is lower than the total points earned on the other individual experiments, then all of the Experiment 3 points will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Dropping the lowest lab will happen when I’m calculating course grades, which are done offline, so nothing will change in what you see in the Canvas grade book.
