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
Homework	7-14	Frequently	10%
Projects	3-5	Every few weeks	40%
Tests	2	Every 5 weeks	30%
Final Exam	1	May 7	20%

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.
