Lecture grading
- The final grade will be the average of the hour tests, final, and
homework.
- The homework and pop-quiz average is equivalent to one test.
- The final will count the same as any test.
- The lowest of these scores will be dropped.
- One half of the bonus homework problems must be satisfactory
done to get an A in the course.
- An average of 90% or above is guaranteed an A (subject do
doing bonus problems), 80% or above at least a B, 70% or above at
least a C, 60% or above at least a D. However, curving of grades may
enable students to get higher grades. There will be a gray area
between letter grades in the final distribution where people with the
same average could get different letter grades. If you are in this
area the grade you get depends on your score on bonus problems and
whether your test and homework performance has been improving (grade
goes up) or declining (it goes down). I can raise a grade one letter if
I feel it is appropriate.
- If you do well on the hour tests and homework, you can skip the final.
