The points that you earn during the semester will determine what letter grade you earn based on a traditional seven-point college grading scale. \[\text{Letter Grade} \equiv \frac{\text{Points Earned}}{\text{Total Possible Points Earned}} \times 100% \] Each of the modules and their components are allotted points based on the tentative information below. Teaching assistants will modify the point breakdown as necessary. These rubrics, and all changes to these rubrics, will be applied equally across all student's work in a given semester.
