MEEG 3113Machine Dynamicsand Control(2005) • Grading Policy • There will be five to seven examinations during the semester and each will be worth 100 points. • Homework will have a maximum amount of points for the entire semester equal to 10% of the total points possible on the hourly examinations. • To determine your homework score for the semester, take the total number of points earned on homework for the semester, divide that number by the total number of points possible on homework for the semester, then multiply that fraction by 0.1 times the total number of test points possible for the semester.
MEEG 3113Machine Dynamicsand Control(2005) • Grading Policy • The final examination is two hours in length, and will be worth 200 points. Therefore, the total number of points available during the semester is (assuming 7 hourly exams): ..Total exam points: 100 points/exam x 7 exams = 700 ..Total homework points: (Total points earned/Total points possible) x 70 = 70 ..Total points possible on final examination = 200 ..Total points possible for the semester = 970
MEEG 3113Machine Dynamicsand Control(2005) • Grading Policy • The final examination is optional, and can either raise or lower your grade for the semester. To determine if you need to take the final do the following: • Determine the total number of points needed out of 970 in order for you to get the desired grade. For example a the minimum point total to get a B is 0.8 x 970 = 776 • Subtract your total points from exams and homework from this value to determine the final exam score you need to make the letter grade you want.
MEEG 3113Machine Dynamicsand Control(2005) Grading Policy Example (assuming 100 total points possible on homework): Exam grades: 72, 68, 87, 75, 83, 71, 85 u 541 points total Homework: 78/100*70 u 55 points total Total points for the semester: 596 Semester average: 596/770 u 77% Final exam grade needed for a B: (970*.8) - 596 u 180 (90%) If the final is not taken, final exam grade entered: 154 (77%)
