CS1331 Fall 2011 Grading

Grading

Grade Scale:

90 - 100	= A
80 - 89	= B
70 - 79	= C
60 - 69	= D
0 - 59	= F

IMPORTANT NOTES ON GRADING:
In addition to the total overall class percentage for determining your grade, you must have a passing average (>60 average) on the 3 exams and final exam (combined) to pass the course as well. We implement this policy as a check-and-balance with respect to the HWs and our allowance of collaboration on them. Note that this does not mean that you have the option of only using the four exams to determine your grade. All the categories above will be used in the grade calculation, but in addition, you must have a passing grade on just the four exams in order to pass the course.

You have two weeks from the time TA's review an exam or post your homework grade to file a challenge to the grading. After that time, the grade will stand. It doesn't have to get resolved in 2 weeks, but you must notify someone with specific issues about a question on the exam or a homework for the grade to be eligible to be changed.

For (non-CS/CM) students who are taking the course P/F, you must earn 60% to earn a P (and on the exams too).
