Total score to letter grade translation.
The formula changes each year and is posted at the end of the semester.
Notes:
- Most assignments
are graded on a check, check-plus, check-minus, zero system. Scores
recorded on grade sheet translate the check system to numbers with check=4,
check-plus=5 and check-minus=3. Some assignments (e.g. quiz and robot) have
numeric scores. The score is multiplied by the assignment weight and entered
in the grade book. The sum of the grade book numbers is the total
score. The higher the weighting, the bigger the impact on your final score.
The syllabus has additional detail on grading.
- Class participation exercises are get a check if
you did it, 0 if not.
- Assignments and weighting values may change as the course proceeds
