The ECE 313 Grading Scheme
In computing your average homework score, I will not include the lowest of your homework scores (which may well be a 0 for homework turned in late or not turned in at all).
You can see how you are doing in the course by checking your scores in the Campus Gradebook for this course.
Class averages have improved over the last ten days on account of
One student asked whether I intended to stick by my announced policy
of awarding A's to those who scored one standard deviation or more
above the mean score. In view of the above data, this would mean that
only those scoring 98 or more would be getting an A.
In fact, the grading policy stated elsewhere
on this web page says that, subject to some conditions (which happen
to be satisfied in this instance,) I intend to award A's to those who score
more than the minimum
of 85% and mean+one-standard-deviation. I hope that this will set some
minds at rest.
The median score is now 84, the mean score is 78 and the standard
deviation is 20.
