How Do I Earn My A?

Each of the the following percents are a percent of the course grade:

• Khan Academy Precalculus Mastery Score= 50%

• Khan Academy Trigonometry Mastery Score = 30%

• Final Exam = 20% 

Your numeric score will be converted into a letter grade according to the following:

Grading scale:  All members of the Mathematics department of Tunxis Community College use the following grading scale for final grades in the course:

A:  93-100; A-: 90-92; B+: 87-89; B: 83-86; B-: 80-82, etc. based on the final average in the course, rounded to the nearest whole point

A few important notes about the final:

• It will be in person on the Tunxis campus. (That is the only in-person requirement for the class.) 

• You need to get at least a 50% on the final to pass with anything higher than a D+ in course. So make sure not to tank the final. Even if your Khan score is great, you won’t be able to pass unless you get above a 50%. 

• You will be able to use one single-sided sheet of notes for the final.

• You cannot use any calculator more powerful than a TI-84+. If you aren’t sure, if your calculator is allowed email me at hendree.milward@ctstate.edu to ask.
