Grade Determination
Your grade will be the same for both PHY122 and for PHY124 (lab
part of the course). The grades will be calculated based upon the
following percentages:
| |
Exam-1 |
Exam-2 |
Exam-F |
Lab |
Rec |
Homework |
| Percentage |
15 |
15 |
30 |
20 |
10 |

Your final score based upon the weightings listed above will be
compared to the following scale to determine the letter grades
(i.e. there is not a curve in PHY122):
| |
A |
A- |
B+ |
B |

C+ |

| Percentage |
90-100 |
85-89 |
80-84 |
75-79 |
70-75 |
65-69 |
60-64 |
55-59 |
50-54 |
45-49 |

The grades will be normalized between recitation and lab
sections. Normalization is not curving since the grades will be
brought to the same mean as one another without an overall shift
upward or downward.
