Midterm (Due June 29) | 30% |
Final (Due July 27) | 30% |
Term paper | 40% |
For 6/79995 students:
Your grade will be based on one midterm, one final, and a class presentation
at the end of the term on a relevant topic of the student's choosing, with
instructor approval.
The weights are:
Midterm (Due June 29) | 30% |
Final (Due July 27) | 30% |
Presentation | 40% |
The midterm and final will be take-home and done electronically; notice that the material in Graduate Student's presentations is fair game for the final also.
I will assign number grades during the session and only convert them to letter grades when I turn them in at the end of the session. No decision can be made regarding a conversion table until the very last minute due to such imponderables as test difficulty, class attendance and participation, etc. which will influence the grade. However, I guarantee the following, worst case, table:
97-100 | will convert into an A |
94-96 | will convert into at least an A- |
91-93 | will convert into at least a B+ |
88-90 | will convert into at least a B |
85-87 | will convert into at least a B- |
82-84 | will convert into at least a C+ |
79-81 | will convert into at least a C |
76-78 | will convert into at least a C- |
73-75 | will convert into at least a D+ |
66-72 | will convert into at least a D |
The last withdrawal date for this course is 07/8/2012.
