GUIDELINES FOR ASSIGNING LETTER GRADES

At the end of the course, your overall score will be calculated as follows:

Overall score = (0.35)(your best exam %) + (0.30)(your 2nd best exam %)
+ (0.25)(your worst exam %) + (0.10)(your computer assignment %)

Students will be ranked according to this overall score. Then, the following guidelines will be used to assign letter grades:

The rationale for this letter grade assignment is that a C student is an average student. An above-average student should get a C+ or higher. A below-average student may get a C or lower.

The above table will be used as a guideline only. It will not be followed strictly. However, no student will be graded tougher than as indicated on the above table.

NOTE:
(upper percentile) = 100(rank)/(number of students).
Your upper percentile represents the percentage of students with an overall score greater than or equal to yours.

The number of students used on the upper percentile calculation includes every student who has taken at least one exam, even if the student has withdrawn from the course. Note that, in this way, students who remain in the course are not penalized by students who drop.
