Grading

Hi everyone,
Just to clarify the grading scheme a little bit. Each assignment is worth 25% of the grade. There are no allocated points for attendance, participation and posting. However, I do take it into account. Because most of the grading is done through letter grades (except assignment 3 where I actually assigned points), this gives me a lot of leeways in determining the final grade. For example, a B can be 84, 85, or 86, etc. So, when determining the final grade, I look at all your grades for the assignments, and I add or substract a + or - to your final grade according to your attendance, participation and postings. So a B+ can become an A- according to your involvement in class, just like a B can become an B- if you did not attend or get involved in class. I hope this is clear and that you all think it is fair. I do not have control over the points allocation (it was determined in the syllabus). But I do want to acknowledge in some ways people's involvement and dedication.
Have a great summer, and let me know if you want more details about the breakdown of your final grade.
