Total     800


*Note*
the one hundred (100) points possible in class participation is dependent upon your attendance, participation, et al. Additionally, as there is oft-times some extra credit or bonus points to be had - this will be added in the "CP" category.

Total Points Possible: 800

For your final grade, your accumulated point total will be divided by 800 and the percentage for assigning letter grades is as follows [and please note this is using the new A - A/B - B - B/C - C, etc grading scale]:  

*Note*
please understand - it takes 744 points to earn an "A"; 704 points to earn an "A/B", etc 743 or 703 are close [to "A" or "A/B" respectively] but no cigar - the course is designed for your success - but you must do your part - and we never "round up" at the end of the semester.
