Calculating Your Grade
Calculating Your Grade
You can use the table below to visualize your progress based on your quiz problems and the assignment feedback you’ve received.
This table doesn’t take into account penalties for missing warmups.
Instructions:
- Check off Learning Targets as you go, starting from the bottom. For example, once you’ve checked off 6 learning targets you have filled the “C” row, and once you’ve checked off 8 learning targets you have filled the “B” row.
- Check off Labs as you get receive feedback. When you receive an assessmment on a lab, you can check off that lab up to once in each grade tier. For example, if you receive an M, you can check off one box for “M or E” in each of Tiers A, B, and C. If you receive an E, you can check off one box for E in Tiers A and B, and one box for M or E in Tier C. R’s can only be used to check off boxes in the second row of Tier C.
Once all boxes in a row are checked, you have earned that grade in the course, provided that you have missed no more than 3 warmup activities.
Tier | Learning Targets | Labs |
---|---|---|
A | ▢ ▢ ▢ | E: ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ M or E: ▢ ▢ ▢ |
B | ▢ ▢ | E: ▢ ▢ M or E: ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ |
C | ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ | M or E: ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ R, M, or E: ▢ ▢ |
Here’s an example for a student who completed 9 learning targets, earned “Exemplary” on five labs, and earned “Meets Expectations” on three labs.
Tier | Learning Targets | Labs |
---|---|---|
A | ▢ ▢ ☑ | E: ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ M or E: ☑ ☑ ☑ |
B | ☑ ☑ | E: ☑ ☑ M or E: ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ |
C | ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ | M or E: ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ ☑ R, M, or E: ☑ ☑ |
This student fully meets the requirements of a B and partially meets the requirements of an A, and therefore earns an A- (provided they have missed no more than 3 warmups).
