Final Grade Assignment

We will compute your course final average by summing the total score obtained in individual components of the course.  Letter grades will then be assigned according to the following scale:

94.00 – 100.00= A
90.00 – 93.99  = A-
87.00 – 89.99  = B+
83.00 – 86.99  = B
80.00 – 82.99  = B-
77.00 – 79.99  = C+
73.00 – 76.99  = C
70.00 – 72.99  = C-
65.00 – 69.99  = D+
60.00 – 64.99  = D
55.00 – 59.99  = D-
00.00 – 54.99  = F

If you are having trouble in the course, please discuss the difficulty with an Instructor as early in the course as possible.  It is very difficult to make adjustments late in the semester.
