Grading Scale

Your grade in this class will be determined by total points. This means that however many points you earn during the term will be divided by the total number of points available at the end of the term.

For example:

Assignment

Total points
Lab #1

Homework #1

Homework #2

Test #1

Lab #3

Lab #4

Homework #6

Lab#5
22
30
Test #3
75
100
Total
439
570

Your grade (percentage) would be: 439/570 = 77%

The Grading Scale is as follows:

A+ 100 98
A 97 95
A- 94 93
B+ 92 90
B 90 87
B- 86 84
C+ 83 81
C 80 77
C- 76 74
D+ 73 70
D 69 67
D- 67 65
F 65 Below

So the Grade in the previous example would end up being a "C"

*The key in total point grading scales is to accumulate as many points as possible!!!! On a test, don't leave any questions blank because some or partial credit is always better than no credit! Zeroes will absolutely kill you in this type of grading system
