Grading Info


Confused about how your grade is calculated? Maybe the information provided here will help.

I work on a point system. Your grade is based on the number of points you earn during the quarter. At the end of quarter, I'll add up the number of points you earned. I'll then divide your total points into the total number of points that were available for the quarter. The resulting percentage is converted to a letter grade based on the following scale.

Please make sure to contact me if you still have questions about your grade.

Students who do not complete and submit the required paperwork by the university-specified deadline but who either (1) fail to attend class and/or submit homework on a regular basis or (2) fail to take one of the exams will receive a grade of UW. The UW grade has the same effect as a grade of F when calculating your GPA.
