No letter grades are assigned to individual assignments.

Instead, each assignment will be worth a certain number of points, as designated above. Points will be totaled at the end of the semester.

Grades:

93-100+ points = A
90-93 = A-
87-89 = B+
83-86 = B
80-82 = B-
77-79 = C+
73-76 = C
70-72 = C-

I will award partial credit when possible. Totals are not rounded up: for example, cumulative scores of 89.5 points receive a grade of B. I neither grade on a curve nor use a "quota system." However, it is a rough rule of thumb that in elective graduate courses in this department there will be one A awarded for every three B's.

I must submit the grade sheets by 9:00 a.m. on May 17. Check your grades online after this date.
