C@CM Grades
Pre-Assessments - 4%
You will receive 4% toward your overall grade for completing the Pre-Assessments for each unit. The Pre-Assessments will be graded for completeness, not performance; meaning that you will receive credit for completing the Pre-Assessments regardless of how well you perform on the assessment. We expect that your Pre-Assessment scores will be low because you haven't received any instruction on the learning objectives being assessed at the time that you complete them.Learning Activities - 10%
You will receive 10% toward your overall grade for completing the Did I Get This? (DIGT) and Learn By Doing (LBD) learning activities throughout the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) course exposition. The DIGT and LBD grades will be based on participation, not performance - you'll get credit for completing the activities regardless of how many activities you complete correctly. Additionally, C@CM reserves the right to add participation in recitations and discussion questions to the learning activities percentage.
Attendance - 5%
Attendance at weekly C@CM recitations is required and will be worth 5% of your total grade. Excused absences are available only if you provide documentation for your university-approved absence.
Exam-Readiness Quizzes - 20%
20% of your overall course grade will come from completing the Exam-Readiness Quizzes before you take the exam. These quizzes will be graded on your performance, taking the highest score of all attempts completed before the deadline.
Final Exam - 61%
The Final Exam will be the largest factor in determining your overall course grade at 61%. Make-up exams will not be proctored without documentation for a university-approved absence.
Overall Course Grade
Your overall grade must be at least 75% in order to pass the course.
