CPS and homework pointage

You can now get a fairly good idea on your semester grade going into the final exam, other than the fact that we have some homework and CPS still to do.

What you do:
  1. Look at "HW pointage" in My Grades, and round it up to the nearest whole number; maximum = 16.
  2. Look at "CPS pointage" on your My Grades page, and round it up, too, to the nearest whole number; maximum = 24.
  3. Check "Best three midterms" in My Grades.
  4. Add up (a), (b) and (c).
  5. Divide that sum by 160. That percentage gives you an idea of what your semester grade would be IF I gave semester grades today, not in May.
  6. Look up that percentage on the semester grade scale.








A90% or higher
B75% or higher
C60% or higher
D50% or higher
Flower than 50%
