Math 112 - Winter 2006 - Grade Record

EXPLANATION OF MIDTERM GRADE COMPUTATION

Here is an explanation of how your grade is calculated: Think of the course as a total of 100 points. So far we have completed approximately 68 of these points.

Category	Weight	Your percentage	Your score
Participation	2	Depends on the number of participation days you missed	=0,.7, 1.3, or 2
Homework	10	YOUR HOMEWORK PERCENTAGE	=YOUR HOMEWORK SCORE
Activity	10	YOUR ACTIVITY PERCENTAGE	=YOUR ACTIVITY SCORE
Exam 1	23	YOUR EXAM 1 PERCENTAGE	=YOUR EXAM 1 SCORE
Exam 2	23	YOUR EXAM 2 PERCENTAGE	=YOUR EXAM 2 SCORE
Final Exam	32	YOUR FINAL EXAM PERCENTAGE	=YOUR FINAL EXAM SCORE
TOTAL	100		YOUR TOTAL OUT OF 100

YOUR COURSE PERCENTAGE = YOUR TOTAL

This is the percentage that I look for on the grade scale to give you your grade.

PARTICIPATION If you missed one or two participation days, you still received full participation credit.

HOMEWORK We have graded all of your homework assignments. I threw out the lowest of the seven and divided by 6*15 = 90 to get your homework percent.

YOUR HOMEWORK PERCENTAGE = (HIGHEST 6 HOMEWORKS) / 90 * 100 PERCENT

ACTIVITIES We have graded all of your activities. I threw out the lowest of the eight and divided by 7*20 = 140 to get your activity percent.

YOUR ACTIVITY PERCENTAGE = (HIGHEST 7 ACTIVITIES) / 140 * 100 PERCENT

EXAM The first and second exams are each weighted as 23 points (see your syllabus).

YOUR EXAM PERCENTAGE = (YOUR EXAM SCORE) / 50 * 100 PERCENT
