Grade Evaluation: Quizzes and assignments will be marked in terms of your percentage correct. The final grade will be computed according to the University of Alberta letter grading system and will be based upon your relative standing in class. That being said, a mark of at least 50% is typically required for a passing grade. The table below contains an approximate guideline for the course, however the instructor reserves the right to adjust this table and assign appropriate grades based on relative performance. Cutoffs may be adjusted so that the proportion of students receiving each letter grade corresponds to the University-suggested ranges, depending on class performance and clustering of scores, and will reflect your performance in relation to the rest of the class.
