Grading Policy

Computation of course grade:
The course grade will be the average of your quiz, hour exam, and final grades, weighted as follows:

Quizzes: 60 points total
Hour Exams: 100 points each (300 points total)
Final Exam: 240 points

600 points total

Curving: I assign letter grades to numerical score ranges for each component of the course separately; these may vary from component to component depending on the difficulty of each component You should not expect that 90 = A, 80 = B, etc. The final grade ranges are set by averaging the ranges on each component (for example, the final B+ range is the average of the B+ ranges on all components of the course).

Drop scores: NO quizzes or exam scores will be dropped.

Missed quizzes or exams: See the discussion on the course policies page and ask Professor Nevins if you have any questions.
