Grades of A – F will be assigned based on the total points earned for the course.  Grades given will be A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, and F.  The final curve for the class will be completed after all grades for class are totaled.  If you received 90% of all points, you will get an A, 80% a B, 70% a C, and 60% a D.  The curve will likely be lower than this, but will not be higher.  Incompletes require a written agreement between instructor and student.
