Grading procedures

 

'The A students get hired by the B students, who end up working for the C students.'
Al McGuire (describing students who focus on grades instead of learning).

I will grade on a straight percentage:

PERCENT RANGE POINT RANGE LETTER GRADE
90 -100% 360 - 400 pts  A
80 -  89% 320 - 359 pts  B
70 -  79% 280 - 319 pts  C
60 -  69% 240 - 279 pts  D
Below 60%        < 240 pts  F

 

Minuses will be given for the bottom third (0-3) of each range; pluses for the top third (7-9). I will also use pluses and minuses to help if I feel that one's grade did not reflect his/her effort; I will not use them to reduce a grade.

NOTE: Should we be able to work with the Grande Ronde Model Watershed, I may change the point total to 500 and work in an assignment for that part of the class. We'll know by week 2.
