Gradescale

Your numeric and letter grades are available on your WebCT page for the course (use the WebCT Site link above), under "My Grades". The scale below translates your Total Score--the sum of your Midterm Exams, minus your lowest midterm, plus your Final Exam--into a letter grade. In determining your Total Score, I've used corrected exam scores rather than raw scores, so the calculation adds 15 points to your Exam 2 and Exam 4 grades, and 25 points to your Exam 3 grade. The dropped score is your lowest corrected score, not your lowest raw score.

The ranges below are final--they will not change as students request regrades. As a result, wherever your score puts you on the chart below, that is the letter grade you will get if you do nothing more.
