Grades

Grades will be based on performance on a number of measurements. It is important that you participate in all of these measurements. If you must miss one of these measurements, please contact the instructor to arrange a make up.

Measurement	Quantity	When	Value
Assignments	10-20	Weekly	65%
Tests	2	Every 5 weeks	20%
Final Exam	1	May 1	15%

Grades will be assigned as follows:

Class Average	Grade
0% - 59%	F
60% - 69%	D
70% - 79%	C
80% - 89%	B
90% - 100%	A

I reserve the right to lower the ranges in this table if I feel that it is appropriate. I will not raise the standards of performance.

In general, a + grade will be a point or two points lower than the maximum for the range. For example, an B+ might be assigned for a grade of 88% or 89%, but I will adjust this as I assign final grades. I generally do not assign - grades.

Attendance Quizzes

For any classes that are conducted online, I will assign a one point Attendance quiz each week. By taking the quiz, you are "answering roll call" for the week and thus have attend classes for that week. I will add 1 point to your homework score for each quiz taken.
