I was wondering how you are going to calculate our final grades.
Grades are based on many things
What counts the most?
Actually I look at all of it and let's not forget class participation.
Do you grade on a curve or use percentages?
Homework, attendance, and quizzes are sixty percent ; the mid-term and final are worth twenty percent each.
What if we miss something?
I will allow one unexcused absence ; after that you need to contact me ahead of time.
Will you tell us if we are failing during the year?
You will be able to track your progress during the year.
