Grading Policy Total of 7 tests, final exam which will be counted twice, and attendance grade as figured below. This is a total of 1000
points. Grade cutoffs are: 90-A, 80-B, 70-C, 60-D. Everyone must take the final. If you have taken all 7 tests and your attendance
score is not zero, the final exam score can also be used to replace up to two lower test scores. For instance, your final is an 83, you have
taken all 7 tests, and your two lowest exam scores are 65 and 78. The 83 will replace both the 65 and the 78. In this case, your final exam
score will count 4 times when figuring your grade. If you miss a test, the final will replace the zero. Attendance grade will not be
dropped. When you miss an exam, your grade on the final will be counted 3 times. Any missed test after the first missed exam will be
counted as a zero. If your grade on the final is not higher than any test, the final still counts 2 times.
Attendance Points

107 points
The maximum possible total that will be recorded for any student is 100, so you can miss some classes or drills and you can still have a
score of 90 or better. If you have taken a test before I have finished doing the worksheets for a module, a-mail me and I will give you
attendance credit for any future class periods covering that module and you will not have to come to those classes. If you have to miss a
lecture class, you may attend extra drills to make up the points. Having an attendance score of 100 can mean a lot for your grade. An
attendance score of 100 will make a test score average of 55 be a D, 66 a C, 77 a B, and 88 an A.
