I updated the Grade Calc column in VistaBB today and made sure that the columns for all the graded items so far are visible. The only ones not shown yet are for the Week-9 Lab and this week’s discussion.
The following notes should help you interpret what you see there.
What’s included in the calculation
- Attendance – 25 possible – We’ll give three “free” in the final calculation
- Discussion – all but this week’s - We’ll drop the lowest in the final calculation
- Labs – all but week-9 - We’ll drop the lowest in the final calculation
Notes on the Calculation
- This is a “raw” calculation that does NOT yet take into account the allowance for missed attendance. Nor does it drop your lowest discussion and lab.
- We will make that adjustment before calculating the final grade, but for now you’re seeing the score without those adjustments.
- If you wish to calculate your own grade as a check, the grade calculation uses the “weights” show on the “Assignment Weights” page in the syllabus.
Dealing with errors in the calculation
If you believe there is an error in the calculation (e.g. missing grade that should be present, you should email me immediately – we’ll be calculating final grades on Monday 6/6.Jim Mitchell – James.Mitchell@Drexel.edu
