How Grades are Computed

 

1. The quiz score is the average of the eight of the highest score from Quizzes 1 to 8 and worksheets 2 and 3. That is, the lowest two are dropped.

2. Your score from the average quiz, first, second, and final exam (based on the scale 100 as maximum) multiplied by their corresponding weights (given below), and summed up equals your raw score in the class (for example you get 84.35).

3. Your final letter grade in the class is B based on where the raw score 84.35 falls in the grading scale below.
