world disease for fall 2021

Grading for this course

Fairness to students:  Out of fairness to all students, I adhere to the grading scheme outlined in the syllabus  when assigning work and calculating grades.  I cannot selectively assign additional work to only a subset of students to increase their grades, nor differentially apply grading schemes to favor some students over others.  Please do not request unearned grade changes or “extra” work either during or following the completion of the course.

Rounding course grades  If your grade ends with .8 or .9 and you don't have any missing assignments, I will round your grade up. For example, if your course grade on canvas is 79.9, I will round that up to 80 and your course grade will be a B-.  I will not round grades that are not within 2/10 of a point of the next grade.
