2. List the criteria for the final grading of this course.
a. Final grades are rounded to the next whole number if they are at, or above, the
0.5 cutoff. For example: a grade of 76.5 is rounded to 77, a grade of 89.5 is rounded to
90, etc.
Additional letter grades have "no weight" and are NOT computed into the grade
point average. They are:
P = Pass
NC = No credit

If a student has an "I" but does not meet the requirements of the course by the
third week of the next semester, the grade automatically becomes an "F" and is computed
into the grade point average.
