Partial grades status

Being as how the semester total of points is incomplete, still more points to earn, I think it will be highly copacetic if I make up a partial grades spec sheet.

Here are the grades "on the books" so far:

1. Exam 1, 50 points
2. Exam 2, 50 points
3. mini-quiz participation, 2 points each for chapters 2-8, 11 and 12, for 18 points.
4. Not counting bonus points, that makes 118 points possible right now.

Here is how the grade scale would look if I were to award semester grades today:

A	106.2 points	90%
B	88.5	75%
C	70.8	60%
D	59	50%
F	Fewer than 59	Below 50%

We still have these grading events ahead:

1. Exam 3
2. iTunes U "pop" exam, 10 points
3. Readings "pop" exam, 12 points
4. mini-quiz participation, 2 points for each chapter ahead, chapters 13, 15, 20-22, for 10 points.
5. Not counting bonus points, that is another 82 regular semester points ahead, in the next two weeks.

I have not included any bonus points in this blurb; this is my normal practice. I usually do not fuss with bonus pointage until all the exams are in. But you can mentally add them in to your total points, if you have earned any bonus. You can think of the bonus pointage as being added onto an exam score.

Side note: the iTunes U pop exam and the readings pop exam will be my next plan. So in the next week or so, stay on your toes, keep an eye here on Announcements, and EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!
