Evaluation
This class has neither a mid-term nor an in-class final examination. Grades are based on class participation and the completion of six tasks. Each task will focus on the topic listed in the chart below, but each succeeding task will build on the skills learned in the ones which come prior to it. All tasks will be released for view at least one class session prior to their due dates.
To be explicit, when averaging grades for the semester, we will round off to two decimal places. The resultant number must equal the lower number in a grade range to reach the minimum necessary to get that letter grade. A 94.99 is an A- a 95.00 is an A, for example.
| Grad | Undergrad | Points | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| H | A | 95 > | Mastery of course content at the highest level of attainment that can reasonably be expected |
| P | 80-94 | A totally acceptable performance ... | |
| A- B+ B B- |
92-94 87-91 83-86 80-82 |
... demonstrating an adequate level of attainment | |
| L | 60-79 | A marginal performance in the required exercises ... | |
| C+ C C- D+ D |
77-79 73-76 70-72 67-69 60-66 |
... demonstrating a minimal passing level | |
| F | F | < 60 | For whatever reasons, an unacceptable performance |
You may see a modified set of grade expectations for each task, but this is the grading standard for the entire course.
