Grading: The Course Average is determined by two components:

 

• The Final Exam (35% of Grade): A comprehensive (covers all topics during the semester) full period final examination is scheduled on 5-25-2017, and it must be taken to pass the course. You can access a review of the final exam using the link http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/mathematics/docs/review/MAT1275FinalRview.pdf

 

• The Student’s Class Average (65% of Grade): The score will be based upon in-class exams and class participation.

 

Exams (40%):            There will be three exams.

The lowest of the three exam grades will be dropped.

If you lose points on exams, you may try to correct and explain those errors to receive one-half of the credits lost. Corrections must be submitted within one week after the graded papers have been handed back and attach them to the original exam.

No extra time will be given for students who arrive late. No make-up exams. A missed exam will count as 0 and will be the lowest grade that is dropped.

                     

Assignments (20%):  These will consist of different written assignments.

 

Open Lab Blog (5%):         See other Open Lab Instructions document.

 

Final Grade:              The grading scale is below:

A  = 93 – 100

A^– = 90 – 92

B⁺ = 87 – 89

B  = 83 – 86

B^– = 80 – 82

C⁺ = 77 – 79

C  = 70 – 76

D  = 60 – 69

F  = 0 – 59
