15 FINAL EXAM
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%
F <= 62%
