Math 2280 - Grades ExplanationUniversity of UtahSpring 2008So, as of Monday, May 5th the grades for Math 2280 are now postedon WebCT. I will not be posting them officially until Friday, May 9th. Ifyou have any issues or concerns about your grades please see me or get intouch with me before then.I want to explain how grades were calculated:• Assignments and Project 40% - For the assignment and projectsgrade I calculated the percentage of the p oints a student received onthe assignments (not including the last one, which was extra credit)and combined that with the project score. The project was scored ei-ther as just another assignment worth 9 points, with a ll assignmentscounting for 40%, or the project was scored separately and worth10%, with all the other assignments counting for 30%. For each stu-dent I took the higher of the two possible scores.• Quiz Scores 30% or 20% - For the quiz scores I curved all the q uizzesso the average was the same as on the higher natural average quiz.So, the average on the first quiz was 31.9 points, the average on thesecond was 3 0.6 points, and the average on the third was 26.8 p oints.So, I multiplied all scores on the second quiz by (31.9 /30. 6), and allscores on the third quiz by (31.9/26.8). I then took the higher of thetwo adjusted quiz scores and had that count as the student’s quizscore. This quiz score was either worth 2 0% or 30% of the student’sfinal grade, d epending on if this quiz score was higher or lower thanthe student’s score on the final. If counting it for 30% was more ben-eficial to the student’s grade, then quizzes counted for 30%, if count-1ing the quizzes for only 20% was more beneficial, then q uiz zes onlycounted for 20%.• Final Exam Scores 30% or 40% - The final exam score was the moststraightforward. It was simply the score on the final exam, and iteither counted for 30% or 40% of the final grade, depending uponwhich would help the student’s final percentage the most.The final grade buckets were as follows:82%+ = A80% - 82% = A-77% - 80% = B+72% - 77% = B70% - 72% = B-67% - 70% = C+62% - 67% = C60% - 62% = C-57% - 60% = D+52% - 57% = D50% - 52% = D-50%- =
