Grade Information:
Grading scale:
A = 90% - 100%
B = 80% - 89%
C = 70% - 79%
D = 60% - 69%
F = 0% - 59%
The above schedule is used at Valencia. How you arrive at this final percentage should be part of your syllabus. Below are different options instructors have used to arrive at their grade.
Sample from Paul Fernandez:
Evaluation:
There
will be 3 in-class tests and a comprehensive final. All tests are comprehensive
with emphasis of the most recently completed material. Test problems are similar
to homework problems, examples on the book and/or examples worked in class. You
should be prepared to take a quiz every class period. These are to monitor your
progress in the class. Tests will count as one grade each, homework and quizzes
will count as one grade and the comprehensive final will count as
one grade.
Grades will be based on 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, 90-100 being D, C, B and A
respectively. Students that stop coming to class without withdrawing or do
not take the final exam will receive a grade of "WF". Students that
withdraw after withdrawal deadline, (3/26/2004),
will receive a "WP" or "WF" based upon the student’s average at the last day of
attendance.
Make-ups:
No
make-up test will be given. If a (one) scheduled test is missed because of a
medical emergency or legal situation, your final exam grade will be used in
place of the missed test score. Only one test can be missed with a valid excuse
per academic term.
