Student Tallies


Here you will find status on how you are doing in my class, based on a custom Excel Grade-Book application. Grade Summary tallies your work to a letter grade and will show you how well you are doing, overall, by assessment criteria. Attendance, Feedback, Assignments, and Tests track how you are doing in the specific grading item.

Students are notified by email distribution list when tallies are posted/updated. Tallies are updated four times a semester shortly after the due date for each Office module assignment and the midterm.

Q:  

Why are my assignments graded on a 4 point scale?
A: There is no need to use a 100 point scale for evaluating the assignment objectives. The 4 point scale in .1 increments is a simple scale that is consistent with the University grading system.
Q: What does my assignment grade translate to on the letter scale?
A: Assignment assessments is based on a 4 point scale, which matches the NJCU grading system. That grade scale is posted in the course catalogs. The scale on the right is based on this standard, but includes grade ranges.
Q: The assignment grades are posted on the Assignment Sheet in Grade Scale, but are posted on the Summary Sheet in percent scale. Why?
A: In order to calculate an average grade for the course, all assessments must be in the same scale. This allows me to use a simple weighted calculation and a reasonable letter translation scale for your final grade. (The grades are equivalent, but in different scales.) This calculation and letter scale is included in the Grades Summary sheet.
Q: I noticed the grading scale posted on the Grade Summary page is different from the grading table on this page. Why is that?  
A: After analyzing the point spread differences of the table on this page, I noticed that grades are not spread out equally. Using Excel to compare spreads, I adjusted the grade scale slightly to balance the distribution a little better.
