Grading:
Your performance in this class will be assessed in a variety of ways. Each semester, the breakdown goes as follows:
Homework 20 %
Chapter Quizzes 20 %
In-Class Activities and Labs 20 %
Student Presentations 20 %
Student Research Reports 20%
The point/grade scale will be as follows:
A+ = 97 - 100%
A = 93 - 96%
A- = 90 - 92%
B+ = 87 - 89%
B = 83 - 86%
B- = 80 - 82%
C+ = 77 - 79%
C = 73 - 76%
C- = 70 - 72%
D+ = 67 - 69%
D = 63 - 67 %
D- = 60 - 62%
F = 59 and below
I will be using the program Jupiter Grades to record your grades. I will share print outs of your grades monthly so that you can see your current grade. Students who are receiving an F for any monthly grade report will have 1 week to correct work or turn in missing work to increase their grade, or they may need to consider dropping the class. If at any point you find that you have a question about grading or some other issue, I encourage you to bring it to my attention as quickly as possible. You work hard for your grades, and if there are any issues, I very much want to ensure that they are addressed!
