| Memo: We are at the point in the
semester where the "Total Grade Points" column on the far right of the class
score sheet can be interpreted with some degree of meaning. The last test
(Four) is worth 20 percent of the overall grade. So, a score of 100 would
mean that 20 points would be added on to your "Total Grade Points."
Consequently, if you add 20 to your "Total Grade Points" score
after I post the grades for test three,
you will have a fairly good estimate of the highest grade that you
can possibly receive in the class. I say "estimate" because we still have a
few more homework assignments and grades can vary, some, but not much. |
