Excursion Grades

G R A D E S

Your grade for this course will be determined by the following:

Excursions - Live!

Hour exams - 3/4 @ 100 pts             300 pts
Final exam   (comprehensive)           200         
Total                                  500 pts

Excursions - Online

Mid-term exam                          200 pts
Final exam   (comprehensive)           300         
Total                                  500 pts

For Excursions-Live! there will be four hour exams. Your lowest score will be discarded and only the other three will be used (No, a lower score on the Weekly eMail Essays or on the final cannot be substituted). This also means there are no make-ups for the hour exams.

For Excursions Online there will be only a mid-term, and the final exam

In my opinion, there are two objective methods of grading.

One can always determine grades strictly "on a curve".

(e. g.,

15% will get A's;
20%, B's;

30%, C's;

20%, D's; and

15%, F's).

One can also determine grades strictly by a predetermined number (e. g.,

100 - 91, A
90 - 81, B

80 - 71, C

70 - 61, D

Think of these as"guaranteed minima"

100 - 91, A

90 - 81, B

80 - 71, C

70 - 61, D
