Grading

The grading scale for the course will be no stricter than 90-100% A- or better, 80-90% B- or better, 70-80% C- or better, 60-70% D- or better, 0 - 60% F.

This grading scale may be relaxed, depending on the overall class performance and the performance of this class as compared to other MTH 306 classes I have taught.

The weighting of the graded components is as follows:

Activity

Percentage of Course Grade

Recitation Work and Homework 15%
Midterm Exam * 20%
Five online Quizzes ** (given on the course Blackboard site) 30%
Final Exam *** 35%

The final exam will be comprehensive.

* There will be no conflict or makeup midterm exams. If you miss the in-class midterm, your final exam will count 55% of your course grade.

** You should think of the quizzes as comprising a running midterm.

*** A conflict final exam will be scheduled only in very exceptional circumstances. Travel arrangements that conflict with the final exam are not exceptional circumstances.

 

Your work in the recitation classes is designed with the aim of improving your chances of doing well on all the graded components of the course. You should take recitation work very seriously!
