- Grading policy:
Homework is worth 1 to 3 points.
Quizzes are worth on the order of 5 to 10 points each.
Tests are worth on the order of 20 points.
The midterm is worth roughly 40 points.
The final is worth up to roughly 60 points.
The term as a whole will generate some 200 plus points.
Grading is based on the standard College policy: Obtain 90% of the points or more to obtain an A, 80% to 89% for a B, and so forth.
Points map to student learning outcomes via questions on publicly published quizzes, tests, and examinations wherein each question can be linked back to a course or program learning outcome. For further information refer to the student learning outcomes nexus:

Due to our cramped quarters, the course operates by necessity on a system of personal integrity and honor.
