Practice Quiz 1 point

In-Class Quizzes (23 minus three dropped grades = 20; 5 points each)   [number depends on how many quizzes by the end of the semester]

Out-of-Class Assignments                 46 points

Exams 200 points

Total                                                                                        [number depends on how many quizzes by the end of the semester]

NOTE: Final grades will be curved to the second highest grade in the class. Attendance points are recorded in Canvas but do not count toward final grades. I am happy to discuss the "in the moment" status of the curve with the class at any time throughout the semester. 

Final grades will be calculated by divided [total points earned + curve points] by 347 and then based on the following point range:

Point Range Grade

93-100                  A

90-92.99                  A-

87-89.99                  B+

83-86.99                  B

80-82.99                  B-

77-79.99                  C+

73-76.99                  C

70-72.99                  C-

67-69.99                  D+

63-66.99                  D

60-62.99                  D-

less than 60             F

You must earn a grade of C- or higher in HDF 375 in order to enroll in HDF (445 or 455) and HDF 464. 

NOTE: Final grades will be curved to at LEAST the second highest grade in the class. I am happy to discuss the "in the moment" status of the curve with the class at any time throughout the semester.
