Calculating Final Grades

Your Final Averages will have 102 pts of which 2 are an overage (basically extra-credit) and on your Final exam you will have an additional 2 point extra credit assignment. So basically your maximum score is 104/100. That means 4 points extra credit are built in all together, which can also cure a missed nightly writing or two...or a total of 8 missed questions on the MT and Final!

According to the most recent BC Bulletin, I must assign grades as follows:
A+ [97-100]; A [93-96]; A- [90-92]; B+ [87-89]; B [83-86]; B- [80-82]; C+ [77-79]; C [73-76]; C- [70-72]; D+ [66-69]; D [63-65]; D- [60-62]; F = below 60

Standing there he called to her: ‘Hera, what brings you speeding from Olympus? And where are your chariot and horses?’ Queen Hera replied, artfully: ‘I am off to the ends of fruitful earth, to visit  Oceanus , source of all the gods, and Mother  Tethys . They nursed and cherished me lovingly in their halls. I will visit them and bring their ceaseless quarrel to an end. They have been estranged for a long time now, from love and the marriage bed, ever since their hearts were embittered. My horses wait at the foot of Ida of many streams, and they ...
