How are you doing in my class?

There are ways to know how you're doing in my class. You could go by the average from our two tests so far: (q means quizz, mt = midterm)

Cq---Dmt = C-*
Cq---Cmt = C
Cq---Bmt = C+ or B-
Two B's is a B+
Bq---Amt = A-
Aq---Bmt = B+

If you have a D, your chances of getting a B depend of your commitment to change course, which is something I've been talking about in my lectures.You can add a little more to it if you have posted regularly. If your attendance is good it also helps. By the way , you know how you are attendance-wise because I'm always addressing attendance as I take it (some of you have been dropped and reinstated). I've said that having more than 3 unjustified absences may have an impact on your final grade.

To the oft-asked question "can I get an A in this course?" I always say, "You can," but you have to do it, that is, you have to make the commitment to change a habit.
