Tests
and quizzes will be announced in class along with the point value of each
in accordance with the progress made in class. Frequently the
class will vote on options for testing presented. On the day
of the decision the date, material covered and point value of the test
or quiz will be posted. The test or quiz will be graded and
returned the next class day along with the arithmetic mean, standard deviation,
and number of test scores in the analysis for both sections.
If the mean for an individual class is below 80, (a middle "C' ), then
a plus curve will be applied to the entire class equal to the difference
between 80 and the mean. If the mean should exceed 80 the a negative
curve will be applied. This is, however, optional. If a student
feels the test was too easy, he must ask me to apply the negative curve
to him. (This has not happened too frequently.) In addition
to the tests and quizzes given, points will be given and taken for presentations
and contributions made during class. At the end of the quarter the
sum of the points earned during class, be that a positive or negative number
will be added to the sum of the test / quiz scores. This number will then
be divided by the total number of points possible on the test / quizzes.
The letter grades for the report card
will be determined by the following:
92.5 - 100 =A
88.5 - 92.4 =B+
84.5 - 88.4 =B
80.5 - 84.4 =C+
76.5 - 80.4 =C
72.5 - 75.5 =D+
69.5 - 72.4 =D
BELOW 69.5 =F
