I will revise this page as more scores become available. Check (your) “My UB” for your final course grade. Also, see below for important course grading note and other comments. Note that the participation score is based on both attendance (shown in the table below) and satisfactory completion of the focus questions. Students that have consistently ‘slacked off’ on writing their focus essays will not receive participation credit for those days. This is not a problem for most of you; so if you’ve been doing the work, relax. However, if you thought you’ve been ‘riding along for free,’ you may have received a lower score.

The margin of error in grading the annotated bibliographies and the term papers is approximately ±3%. In all cases where it would affect your course grade, the margin of error is +3% (i.e., you are given the benefit of the doubt, scoring your written work as high as possible for that assignment). Thus far written work that was scored substantially below the “A” level clearly fell short of the specified requirements permitting a quantitative approach to grading this work. For example, if only 10 pages of the 15-page minimum term paper requirement were completed, that score would corresponding be 10/15ths or 67% ± slight adjustment for quality. (Sorry, the title page does not count as one page.) Scores 92% and higher are equivalent “A-level” work, while scores 95% and higher reflect exceptionally good quality material. Nobody missed the next highest grade level by a single percentage point.
