On any day of the course, divide your total course points by the total required points according to the chart to find your approximate course grade. 2. For example, if Student AB has 400 total course points on FRIDAY JUL 10, the approximate course grade on that date for Student AB would be 400/505 = approximately 79 % or C. 3. Another example shows if Student XY has 500 total course points on Friday Jul 10, the approximate course grade for Student XY would be 500/505 = approximately 99% or a letter grade of A . 4. NOTE - WHEN YOU ARE ESTIMATING YOUR GRADE IN THIS COURSE, BE SURE TO USE THE ABOVE CHART INSTEAD OF ANY INFORMATION LISTED IN YOUR BLACKBOARD GRADE LISTING, WHICH MAY BE MISLEADING. 5. Calculation of final grade: If, on Wed AUG 12, student XY has a total of 840 course points, the final grade for this student would be 840/1000 = 84% OR B. |
