Grading: Homework 100 Class Participation and Attendance 100 Examination 1 Examination 2 Final Examination Total 250 300 1,000 points ** The total possible points earned during the semester by a student will probably not add up to points stated above so it will be necessary to normalize the points of this category to 100 points.
For instance, if your total possible score for homework adds to 85 points for the semester, the points that you have earned will become a percentage of 85 points which, in turn, will be multiplied by the 100 points needed for grading. For instance if you were to accumulate 85 points for homework assignments and quizzes, you will receive 100 points toward your final grade (85 earned points / 85 possible points) X 100= 100.
Your final grade will be based upon points earned during the semester: 950-1000 points A 870 ? 899 840 – 869 800 – 839 770 – 799 740 – 769 700 – 739 40 – 669 600 – 639 Below 600 8+ c Midterms and Final: There will be two midterms and a cumulative final examination.
