Take Home Assessment Grade Calculation
The results of the take home assessment are now posted on the website. The row that shows is called “TakeHomeAdjusted.” As the name indicates, the score you see is an adjusted score. It is the “raw” score adjusted upward by ten points out of 100 total.
I arrived at this adjustment by a several step process:
- First I reviewed the class grades on all the questions to be sure that there weren’t any errors in the questions causing everyone to miss points. I found no such problems although the calculation problems (based directly on the labs of the term) caused a number of people difficulties.
- I then decided to add the same amount (10 points) to everyone’s score so that the highest scoring individual (not an outlier) received 100%
Final Grade Calculation
The final grade for the course (labeled “Cumulative Grade” in what you see) takes into account the dropping of the lowest discussion and the lowest lab score as well as three “free” attendance misses.
It may change somewhat between now (Thursday noon) and when I submit the grades because it leaves out of the calculation any items that are not yet graded. The graders expect to finish all the grading by this evening and will check that all the items submitted have been graded, so the grade should be the stable grade that I’ll submit by Friday.
