              Grading:       Regular Exams              5  @  80 points           400 points

                                                                     Total Possible             600 points

 

 

         While grade cutoffs are not rigidly determined ahead of time, a point total of

                                 540 or better ensures no worse than an A- 

                                 480 ensures no worse than a B- 

                                 420 ensures no worse than a C-

                                 360 ensures no worse than a D

        

                                 However, the cutoffs may be lower. 

             

                                 The Final will be used as a tiebreaker.
