How grades work

The total number of points available on tests and homework is 500 = 100(homeworks) + 2×100(tests) + 200(final exam). The two in-class tests are scheduled for Tue, Mar 04 and Tue, Apr 22. Each test is worth 100 points. The final exam is at Tue, May 13. Grades will be no lower than set forth in the following table:

450≤ points ≤ 500 90% to 100%A
400≤ points ≤ 449 80% to 90%B
350≤ points ≤ 399 70% to 80%C
300≤ points ≤ 349 60% to 70%D
0 ≤ points ≤ 299 0% to 60%E

Withdrawing from the course: If you withdraw from the course by Tue, Feb 12, the course will be deleted from your enrollment record. If you withdraw from the course by Tue, Mar 11, you will receive a grade of W. The University allows withdraws after Tue, Mar 11, but only with the Dean's signature. Late withdraws will be dealt with on a case by case basis, and requests for late withdraw with a W without a valid reason may or may not be honored.

Incompletes: The grade of I will be awarded if all of the following conditions are met:
  1. The student has completed all but a small portion of the required work.
  2. The student has scored at least 50% on the work completed.
  3. The student has a valid reason for not completing the course on time.
  4. The student agrees to make up the material in a short period of time.
  5. The student asks for the incomplete before grades are due, 48 hours after the final exam.
