Tests and Grades:

For each of the five units, there will be a pre-test and a post-test. The pre-test is supposed to guide you through the reading. The post-test covers the lectures and the results of class discussion.

Convert the total average of your test scores into grades as follows:

95 = 4.0 (A) 86 = 3.1 (B+) 77 = 2.2 (C+) 68 = 1.3 (D+)
94 = 3.9 (A) 85 = 3.0 (B) 76 = 2.1 (C+) 67 = 1.2 (D+)
93 = 3.8 (A) 84 = 2.9 (B) 75 = 2.0 (C) 66 = 1.1 (D+)
92 = 3.7 (A-) 83 = 2.8 (B) 74 = 1.9 (C) 65 = 1.0 (D)
91 = 3.6 (A-) 82 = 2.7 (B) 73 = 1.8 (C) 64 = 0.9 (D)
90 = 3.5 (A-) 81 = 2.6 (B-) 72 = 1.7 (C-) 63 = 0.8 (D)
89 = 3.4 (A-) 80 = 2.5 (B-) 71 = 1.6 (C-) 62 = 0.7 (D-)
88 = 3.3 (B+) 79 = 2.4 (B-) 70 = 1.5 (C-) 61 = 0.0 (F)
87 = 3.2 (B+) 78 = 2.3 (C+) 69 = 1.4 (C-)
