Grading
You can receive a Grade, and I believe we may have the Credit/No Credit option again for this class. I will need to see if that was approved.
Grading is done on the traditional letter grade, A through F, basis. 100 to 90 percent= A, 89 to 80 percent = B, 79 to 70 percent = C, 69 to 60 percent = D, 59 to 0 = F. The grade will be computed based on the following elements,
