You will receive a provisional grade on the first draft of each of your projects, along with suggestions for
revision from me. That provisional grade will rise, fall, or stay the same depending upon how effectively you
revise as you complete your final draft. All final drafts of all project are due to me by noon on Friday, June 30.
• Grade calculation
Your grade for the course will be calculated on a 1,000 point scale and distributed as follows:
assignment point value % of final grade
Project 1 150 points 15%
Project 2 250 points 25%
Project 3 250 points 25%
Project 4 250 points 25%
Engagement 100 points 10%
I’ll use the conversion tables below when calculating grades:
Letter grade to point value point value to final grade
Project 1 Project 2–4 Engagement
A = 140–150 187–200 100 934–1,000 pts. = A
A– = 135–139 180–186 - 900–933 = A–
B+ = 130–134 174–179 - 867–899 = B+
B = 125–129 166–173 86 833–866 = BB– = 120–124 160–165 - 800–832 = B–
C+ = 115–119 154–159 - 767–799 = C+
C = 110–114 146–153 76 733–766 = C
C– = 105–109 140–145 - 700–732 = C–
D+ = 100–104 134–139 - 667–699 = D+
D = 95–99 126–133 66 633–666 = D
D– = 90–94 120–125 - 600–632 = D–
F = 0–89 0–119 0 0–599 = F
