Grading eGradebook The semester grade for Ast 301 will follow the same letter grade - numerical score correspondence as for Exam 1: Grade Curve:
Course grades will be calculated as explained in the course Syllabus. Sometime by the middle of the week of May 8 - 12, we will post the percentage credits for your Exam Total, Quiz Total, and Participation Total, as well as the Course Total in eGradebook. In the meantime, you can calculate this quantity yourself, according to the following formula (also see the FAQ page): Each exam is worth 20% of the course grade, for a total of 3 exams x 20% = 60%. (So add your actual exam scores, divide by the maximum possible score of 300, and multiply by 60). The best four quiz scores added together contribute 20% (so add the scores, divide by 12 points, the maximum possible score, and multiply by 20), and the participation credits yield the last 20%. Add together the exam total, quiz total, and participation points. This is your Course Total score. Look up that score in the table above to see what your letter grade will be. Notice that numerical scores will not be rounded up to the next letter grade. |
