Page Background

Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a grade based upon the

percent of total points possible. Drop quizzes may not be made up. There will be a one week

grade period to make up any missed exams or assignments. Any missed exam/work not make

up within that allotted time will be given a zero. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule

make-up work during a date and time mutually convenient for the student and the instructor.

Final letter grades are based on the following criteria:

A - 89.5 - 100% of the total points

B - 79.5 - <89.5% of the total points

C - 69.5 - <79.5% of the total points

D - 59.5 - <69.5% of the total points

F - <59.5% of the total points
