@MorganBieber,
Quote:You'll have a 86.9 but that rounds up to an 87 so thats a B.
No, the assignment average is 71.7%, the mid is 68%. The mid is worth almost twice as much so the grade so far is 69. something%, a D where I come from. Assuming that the student is coming to class the 10% participation grade will make this a C.
Do they really round up in the schools now? The correct way to do that is to start at 100% and go down, once the grade passes a divide it is no longer the higher grade, it is the lower. When I was in school teachers would hand out the higher grade sometimes, but it was always understood that the student had not earned it.
Edit: my kids tell me that some teachers still grade on a curve, which was once a common practice. If this teacher does then the grade can not be known.
