Grading Policy and Scheme:


Grade point distribution (total 100 points): o Midterm Exam I (25%) o Midterm Exam II (30%) o Final Exam (45%) Overall grade of a student will be a simple summation of points she/he obtained in midterm and final exams (in case of fraction, grade point will be rounded to the nearest integer value before mapping to letter grade). Numerical/letter grade conversion:

A+ 93-100 A 8692.9 A- 8085.9

B+ 77-79.9 B 73-76.9 B- 70-72.9

C+ 67-69.9 D+ 57-59.9 C 63-66.9 D 53-56.9 C- 60-62.9 D- 50-52.9

F 3549.9 F- 0-34.9

Midterm test(s) which are missed for medical reasons and satisfactorily documented with the Office of the Associate Dean results in rescheduling the midterm examination for a later date. o In this case it is absolutely necessary to submit the documents immediately to the deans office, and contact me, since midterms are re-taken a week after. If your medical reason is still going to prevent you from taking the midterm at the new date, it is required to have your doctor confirm that you need more than one week of rest, submitted with the original documents to the deans office. If for any other reason, you missed the re-test, it is required to bring another doctors note, and contact me to setup another date for the midterm test. Midterm weights do not under any circumstance will be transferred to final exam.

If a student does not write the final exam, then she/he will be given zero for the final exam and a corresponding letter grade is calculated based on that. If a student is listed as a registered student but never appears in class, and has not attended study groups, or written exams, then assign F- or NR (No Report). The computer will assign F- for the grade NR.
