Grades

The grades in the course are determined by a point system.  Students earn points by completing exercises, attending class faithfully, participating in class discussions, and completing the papers, tests, and other exercises.

·         The paper is worth up to 35 points.

·         The final examination is worth up to 35 points.

·         Quizzes are worth up to a total of 30 points.  

To earn a grade of A, you must earn 93 or more points.  To earn an A- you must earn 90-92 points.  To earn a grade of B+ you must earn 88 or 89 points.  And so forth.  If you miss more than 4 classes, a point is deducted for each absence.  The wise student saves absences to protect against unexpected illness or other emergency.
