Letter Grade Determination At mid point and course close, weighted
average will be computed, e.g., Weighted %age= [(.50 x exam average) + (.15 x final score) + (.20 x Assign. avg.) + (.15 x lab average)] Weighted %age then translated into letter
grade by ‘90-80-70-60’ criteria

But what does a grade mean? “A” distinctly superior performance “B” consistently above average performance “C” average performance “D” consistently below average performance “F” failing performance
Grades are not a reflection of your personal worth, but my assessment of your performance

Important Class Policies First Amendment-level protections of free speech Question, Question, Question (Skeptical Inquiry) This class first, illness, sports, debate, choir,
music, travel, friends, family second Not that these things are unimportant…
Performance, not effort, is measured and evaluated

Some Intangibles for All Your Classes Civility enhances learning. Your enthusiasm is contagious Be involved in class. The "too cool for school" posture is
unacceptable and offensive When a fellow student speaks, it is not
an opportunity to "tune out," take a break, or start a conversation
![Page 8: Psychology 111 Grading and Course Conduct Course Objectives Introduction to psychological content and perspective Familiarity with scientific methodology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e7c5503460f94b7ecbc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dress appropriately for class. Never close your books or rustle your papers
to signal the end of class Don't wait until it's "too late" to seek help Come to my office hours with definite
questions, concerns, or problems in mind Never ask "Did I miss anything important in
class the other day?” Of Course You Did! Regardless of what you might think, grading
is not easy, nor do Profs take sadistic pleasure in it
