GRADING:

GRADING SCALE
No letter grades will be assigned to any of
the four tests. However, after the
scores of the four tests are added, letter
grades for the course will be assigned.
They are expected* to be assigned as per the
following scale [square brackets indicate closed intervals]!:
A [96%-100%]
A- [92%-95%
B+ [88%-91%]
B [84%-87%
B- [80%-83%]

NOTE: Regarding the interval [80, 100], I have divided
it into five equal sub-intervals for the five letter grades.

C+ [75%-79%]
C [65%-74%]
C- [60%-64%
D+[55%-59%]
D [50%-54%]
D- [45%-49%]
E below 45%

*I say “expected” above because I expect the
class average to be around 80%.

The course grade will be based on
Four in-class tests each worth 25% of the grade.
Tests are not cumulative.
4 x 25% = 100% total

ACADEMIC HONESTY:

The course will be conducted in accord with the University honor code and academic honesty policy which can be found in the Students Rights and Responsibilities which is part of the UF Undergrad Catalog.

ACCOMMODATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:
