Is it possible for someone to fail your final and pass your class? For our discussion about grading I am posting this snippit from someone’s syllabus for Math 98 in 2002.
GRADES
Your grade for Math 98 will determined by the following method:
• If you want to receive a grade of “C” you need to:
1. Complete all homework assignments
2. Complete at least 70% of the weekly quizzes with an average score of 7/10 or higher
3. Complete all 5 exams and the final with an average score of 60% or higher
4. Attend at least 70% of lectures
• If you want to receive a grade of “B” you need to complete the requirements for a “C” plus:
1. Complete at least 80% of the weekly quizzes with an average score of 7/10 or higher
2. Complete all 5 exams and the final with an average score of 70% or higher
• If you want to receive a grade of “A” you need to complete the requirements for a “B” plus:
1. Complete at least 80% of the weekly quizzes with an average score of 8/10 or higher
2. Complete all 5 exams and the final with an average score of 85% or higher
Attendance above 70% will increase your grade and attendance below 70% will decrease your grade. For example, if you attend 90% of the classes and complete the requirements for a B, your grade will be raised to a B+ or higher.
