Grading:
To
calculate your Final weighted Average,
add up the total # of points you've earned on all Assignments and divide by the
total amount of possible points (points can be found in “Gradebook” in PearsonMyLab). Convert to a %. Verify score in MyLab Gradebook.
Timeliness (attendance) of
doing assignments (as per the syllabus), reading the discussion posts, and
performance on the Final Exam will be taken into account,
especially in borderline and equivocal cases. You must work on ALL assignments to complete the course.
Otherwise, a letter grade will be
dropped for missing assignments or missing 2 weeks of attendance.
A >= 92%
82% <= B <= 92%
72% <= C <= 82%
62% <= D <= 72%
