| Points to
Decimal Grade conversion
(roughly): there are 250 possible
exam points and 50 possible homework/quiz points ("daily work"). Out of the
300 possible points, 285 + =4.0; 240 = 3.0; 210 = 2.0; and 180 =
1.0--approximately. You cannot make-up any of the daily work, but there will
be opportunities to earn more than 50 points for the homeworks and quizzes.
Students who take advantage of all such opportunities can use the extra points
as extra-credit points.
