STA110A: Grading Policy
Grades will be determined using a point system. The maximum number of points will be 500, with the breakdown as follows:
- Homework: 120 points (anticipating 10 homeworks, subject to change)
- Quizzes: 140 points (4 quizzes, 35 points each)
- Midterm: 80 points
- Final: 160 points
The following grade ranges are not set in stone. For example, if no one
in the class obtains anything higher than a 450, I'll adjust the
scaling down a little. Whatever happens, though, I will not make the
scale more strict. (In other words, I won't make an "A" harder to
obtain than it presently is using this scale.)
