The following formula is used for all courses in determining a semester grade:
- Average of all study guide exercises, projects, and writing assignments weighed evenly – 15%
- All assessments that are not semester exams (quizzes, chapter tests, unit tests) weighed evenly – 60%
- Semester Exams (Midterm and Final) – 25%
Grading Scale:
- Total – 100%
- A 90-100 %
- B 80-89%
- C 70-79%
- D 60-69%
