University Policy requires +/- grading scales. Course letter grades will be initially  assigned according to a traditional 100 point scale using the weighted total points accumulated as shown in this table:

 
Score Range
Greater than or Equal to the Lower to
Up to But Less Than the Upper
 Grade

93 - 101

 A
90 - 93
(i.e., from 90 to  92.99999999)
 A-
87 - 90
 B+
83 - 87
 B
80 - 83
 B-
77 - 80
 C+
73 - 77
 C
70 - 73
 C-
67 - 70
 D+
63 - 67
 D
60 - 63
 D-
0 - 60
 unFortunate = F


At my discretion, these ranges may be moved downward (in other words, an 88 or above might be an A-), but will under no circumstances will they be moved upward. The exact cutoffs will not be known until after all the materials are graded and recorded, because there is no way to determine how the boundaries will (if at all) move down. Usually, they do move down.

Scores, grades, etc. are posted only to MyGrades in the secure course WebCT site.
