Grading

This table below shows the standard for grading used in this class.

To be explicit, when averaging grades for the semester, I will use an Excel function to round off to two decimal places. But underlying that displayed number is an absolute number and I will use an Excel function to translate the underlying absolute number into a letter grade. The underlying absolute number must equal the lower number in a grade range to reach the minimum necessary to get that letter grade. A 91.999999999 is a B+, a 92.00 is an A-, for example
