I did some math-magic today. Chapter 9 assignments were all based on completeness and timeliness. It turns out there were 103 points of these kind of assignments. The Chapter 9 Test was 66 points. This totals 169 points. I did the math for the students to show them that: If they had turned in all assignments complete and on time; and if the scored 50% on the test (33 points). They would have an 80% (B-). As a note, none of the actual work needed to be correct and I went over the actual answers for every assignment. This means that you could fail the test and still have a B- in the class. So this begs the question, why does anyone have a grade below B-.
