Grading
Guidelines: In
all my courses, I make all efforts to ensure that I evaluate each
student's work fairly and without bias and assign grades based on valid
academic criteria and based on the student’s individual performances. .
Fairness to students also implies reasonably consistent grading among
courses of the same level, other things being equal. For this course, the
grades distribution—based on the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
historical data—will be roughly as follows:
The
final grades will reflect the grading system as used in the
Your
tests and quizzes’ grades will be recorded in the form of a percentile
(%), a formula will be put in place to calculate the averages and the
ratios for each category, then compute your accumulative grade also in %.
In order to figure out what your letter grade is at any given time,
you may rely on the following table to make estimation.
Remember that grades as shown on webCT will be partial grades, but
you should be able to estimate how well you are doing based on the
percentage of tests and quizzes already taken and recorded. The total at
any point can be estimated by considering the highest % shown on the
class’ statistics page.
Let’s
say we are half way through the term, and 50% of the tests, quizzes,
assignments, etc. were taken and recorded (or 50% is what you see as the
highest GPA). You look at your
grade total at that point and you find that you have accumulated 40% out
of the possible 50%. That would translate into 80% if that were to be your
final grade; and that is a B-. Should
you have any further questions, feel free to talk to me during my office
hours.
