here's my syllabus criteria:
exams: 40% of the final grade.
grades here are letters A,B,C, D (D for "failing," F for "no show").
this is a qualitative (not quantitative) average. "A" for example is a ratio between 90-100, not a precise numeral.
homeworks: 20% of final grade.
i
have set homeworks to show percentage. yet, here's what you need to
know. 60% for example is the max. number of homeworks i've set for this
miniterm. if you have 70% you have actually the max. number of points in
that category, which is 25 points.
attendance: 20% of final grade.
if you have 100% attendance that is equivalent to 20 points of the final grade. if you have 80% that's 16 points.
final paper: that's 20 points.
go back now to your grade center and look at your grades.
suppose John Doe has 100% attendance (in the end), a B in the midtermexam and 7 homeworks.
that means: 20 + B (about 84 points = 16.8) + 20.
that means you got 56.8 points toward your final grade (with room for 40 more points to be had).
Ok?
