Grading System

Your Term Mark (TM) will be computed based on the following components:

Class Average (CA) - 70%
  • 05% - Class Participation
  • 10% - Average of Self Test Grades
  • 40% - Average of Quiz Grades
  • 15% - Term Project Grade
Final Exams Grade (FE) - 30%

TM will be converted to MC Grades (F, 1.0 - 5.0) at the end of the semester. Here's how:

99 - 100 --> 5.0
96 - 98 --> 4.5
93 - 95 --> 4.0
90 - 92 --> 3.5
87 - 89 --> 3.0
84 - 86 --> 2.5
81 - 83 --> 2.0
78 - 80 --> 1.5
75 - 77 --> 1.0
74 or less --> F


Notes:
  • All grades that are less than 70.00 will be recorded as 70.00 in our online class record.
  • All grades greater than 70.00 will be rounded off to 2 decimal places when recorded.
  • To pass the course, you need to get a TM of 75.00 or higher.
  • Attendance will not pull your TM down, just don't be absent for more than 12.5 hours and you will be fine.
  • A perfect attendance MAY pull your grade up provided that your TM is in the upper limit of its range. For example, your computed TM is 86.05 and you have a perfect attendance, I'd be happy to give you a TM of 3.0 instead of 2.5.
