GRADING SCALE: 

The undergraduate scale 90%-100% = A, 80%-90% = B, 70%-80% =C, 60%-70% =D, below 60% is failing.  

Someone will undoubtedly ask if they will receive a higher grade if they just barely miss the cutoff score, i.e. will I give you an A with a 89.999% average? 
You can rest assured that I will help you to maintain your integrity by giving you the grade that you deserve.

Grades will be determined from the following:

Selected lab exercises and quizzes	150 points
Examinations	Circa 200 points
Graduate Presentations	50
Total points available	Circa 350-400

All grades will be posted to Blackboard as exams and quizzes are taken. Students will be able to check on grades in Blackboard's Grades link.
