The total score for the course is computed with the following weights:
Computer-based Quizzes (PraireLearn)

Retake quizzes: Optional retake quizzes are available in the week following each first-chance quiz. If you choose to take the retake quiz, the quiz score will be 90% of the higher scores + 10% of the lower score (0.9*max(first_chance_score, retake_score)+0.1*min(first_chance_score, retake_score)). If you do not take the first-chance-quiz, then your score will be 90% of the retake score.
Discussion: Students can drop one of the lowest discussion grades.
Lecture attendance: Students can drop 6 lecture attendance grades (clicker).
The total score s corresponds to final grades as follows.
97% ≤ s < 100% | A+ | 93% ≤ s < 97% | A | 90% ≤ s < 93% | A- |
87% ≤ s < 90% | B+ | 83% ≤ s < 87% | B | 80% ≤ s < 83% | B- |
77% ≤ s < 80% | C+ | 73% ≤ s < 77% | C | 70% ≤ s < 73% | C- |
67% ≤ s < 70% | D+ | 63% ≤ s < 67% | D | 60% ≤ s < 63% | D- |
s < 60% | F |
