Grading 1AYour letter grade will be based on three midterms, one final, homework completion, in-class team activities (i.e. group or individual class participation /presentation/quiz etc.). See below “Grade Distribution” section for details. Exams, mini-tests (or quizzes), and group activities must be taken during class on the days scheduled. No make-up examinations will be given. Students are expected to take the exams and quizzes using their own knowledge. Violation of this policy will result in a grade of 0 (Zero) for that exam/quiz. (See also the Statement of Academic Integrity in this syllabus packet.) Remember that your work will be graded on accuracy and subjective qualities such as presentation and style.
The following scale will be used to assign letter grades:
| Grade | Percentage |
| A | Above 90 % |
| B | 80% to 89% |
| C | 70% to 79% |
| D | 60% to 69% |
| F | Below 60% |
To maximize your potential for a good grade, I recommend that you keep up with the reading and the homework, come to class, participate in the class exercises and ask questions when you don’t understand.
All homework assignments should have a neat and professional appearance. Using a computer to do the homework is strongly encouraged (more points will be given). Also, you are encouraged to do homework and study in GROUPS (two or three in a group works best). Each member of the group must be ACTIVE PARTICIPANT.
High points for class participation points will be awarded to students whose participation reflects that they completed the assigned reading and homework prior to class. Keep in mind that quality of participation is more important than mere quantity.
Grade distribution:
- Three midterm examinations: 40% of total grade
- Final examination: 20% of total grade
- BI-weekly comprehension quizzes: 10% of total grade (the lowest score will be dropped)
- Class participation and team work including Online activities: 10% of total grade (subjective)
- Excel spreadsheet project: 10% of total grade
- Homework completion: 10% of total grade
