Grading Policy
Students are expected to fully participate in the class and complete all the assignments including reports acceptably. Here is the grading breakdown :
Grades are initially calculated on the straight point scale below, however to account for differences in TA report grading, final grades may be curved slightly to make sure no student is at a disadvantage with respect to the class overall if their TA's grading distribution is an outlier. Additionally, because this is a group work focused class, grades may be shifted up or down depending on group participation or lack thereof.
The grade ranges are:
A+ 97-100.0% A 92-96.99% A- 90-91.99%
B+ 87-89.99% B 82-86.99% B- 80-81.99%
C+ 77-79.99% C 72-76.99% C- 70-71.99%
D+ 67-69.99% D 62-66.99% D- 60-61.99%
F 0-59.99%
