| >= 80% and < 90% | B | Better than Average Quality |
| >= 70% and < 80% | C | Meets every course requirement in acceptable or good, but not distinguished, manner |
| >= 60% and < 70% | D | Generally falls below the standard ordinarily desired |
| < 60 % | F | Disappointing performance |
Participation Grade and Attendance policy:
The participation portion of your grade
will reflect your contributions as an individual and as a
member of the class as a whole. Your participation in
class should reflect your preview and review of class
material as well as other preparation/efforts. You are
also required to attend all group project meeting and
contribute 100% of your share.
Note: During the pandemic, all the Zoom meetings
should be regarded as in-class meetings. You need
to have a good "presence" on Zoom (according to the Zoom
Etiquette) to earn participation grade. Please
show well-lighted image of your face which is centered in the
image. Please
refer to the Course Conduct page for more
details.
Here are some examples. Of course, many
combinations of factors are possible. These are only examples.

Assignment Late Policy: Assignments are due before the class starts on the due day or otherwise specified. Late assignments are not accepted.
No pre-grading before any assignment is due: Judging the correctness of your assignments/homework is part of your learning process.
Grade Disparity Policy: If your quiz/exam grades are substantially lower than your assignment/homework grades, this will be taken as a sign that you have not done your own work on the assignments/homework and your final grade will be adjusted to ignore the assignment portion.
Grade Appeals: Any discrepancy or dispute
about your grade of any kind, including attendance records,
must be in a written form. Any grade appeals beyond one
week from the date of returned grade will not be
considered. Appeals to attendance records should include
evidence and should be done within a
week of said incidence.
Grade Negotiations: At the end of the semester your grade will be assigned to you in a strictly objective manner based on your aggregated scores. Grades therefore are never available for negotiation. Any student that "has to get an A" should use foresight and diligence to put forth the necessary attention and effort to achieve their desired goal.
