<h2>MATH 106L Grading - F23</h2>
|
|
<p>As described in <a href="../pdfs/grading.pdf">the description of grade breakdown here</a>, grading in this offering of MATH 106L will be on a <b>mastery grading</b> basis. That means for each assignment, you will ultimately receive a grade of either pass or fail.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>In order to pass the course</b> (graded on a pass/fail basis) you must</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Attend lab throughout the term, with <b>no more than two</b> unexcused absences;</li>
|
|
<li>earn a grade of `pass' on at least 27 of the 32 individual small assignments (lecture worksheets, individual lab submissions like the August 29 lab);</li>
|
|
<li>earn a grade of `pass' on at least 3 of the last 4 lecture worksheets (13-1, 14-1, 14-3, 15-1);</li>
|
|
<li>earn a grade of `pass' on the last worksheet (15-1);</li>
|
|
<li>earn a grade of `pass' and contribute meaningfully to your group's report in at least 6 of 8 lab reports;</li>
|
|
<li>earn a grade of `pass' and contribute meaningfully to your group's report in the final lab report (The logistic model and fishing); and finally,</li>
|
|
<li>earn a grade of `pass' on at least 2 of 3 `big assignments'.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>At a glance, this seems like a lot.
|
|
Most of these bullet points specify that you must pass <i>specific</i> labs/worksheets at the end of the course; fundamentally, you are responsible for 27 small assignments, 6 lab reports, and 2 big assignments to pass.
|
|
<b>All of these but the big assignments can (and should) be done in groups!</b> This will make your life much easier.</p>
|

|
<h3>Some questions you might want to ask</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Did I pass assignment XYZ?</h4>
|
|
<p>If ever you fail to pass an assignment, <b>I will email you about it prior to publishing the Gradescope grades.</b>
|
|
If you haven't received an email from me, the answer is yes!</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>What constitutes a `pass'? — Lecture worksheets, individual lab assignments</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each worksheet consists of a number of `worksheet questions' and potentially some `homework questions'. Each is worth 1 point; earning at least two thirds of the available points constitutes a pass. Your first submission will be graded for feedback only; the resubmission will be graded for correctness, and to determine whether or not a passing grade has been earned.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>What constitutes a `pass'? — Lab reports</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>A lab report consists of a typed response in full sentences incorporating answers to a selection of math questions into the body of the text.
|
|
Reports will be graded on a rubric for correctness and completeness of the mathematics and quality of written presentation. (See <a href="../pdfs/writing.pdf">here</a> for best practices in writing mathematics).
|
|
A score of level 3 or higher will constitute a pass; that is, a total score of 12 or higher on the following rubric.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>If your group fails to pass with a level 3 or higher on the first attempt, you will be given feedback and the opportunity to correct and make a resubmission.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>What constitutes a `pass'? — Big assignments</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The big assignments of MATH 106L are the closest thing the course has to conventional tests.
|
|
You will fill out and submit the assignment individually, and a score of 70% or higher constitutes a pass.
|
|
In the event that you fail to pass the assignment the first time, you will be given the chance to submit corrections to receive up to half of the lost points.
|
|
For example, if you earn a grade of 60% on a first submission and submit corrections for 30% of the lost marks, your final grade on the big assignment would be 60% + 1/2 x 30% = 75%; a pass.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Am I on track to pass the course?</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unless we've spoken and I've said something to the opposite effect, yes! If you ever don't get credit for an assignment, I will contact you about it.
|
|
You are always welcome to email me to request the records I have for grades you've earned in the course to a point.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>DukeHub says we have an exam on the 17th?</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>We don't. There are no exams in this course.</p>
