GRADING (continued)
Each graded course component will be normalized by the class mean on each component. The calculation is as below, where i represents the student’s score and m represents the class mean on that component. For example, if the average class participation grade is 11 out of 15 then a student that received a score of 14 receives a normalized score of 1.27 (=14/11); CPi = 14.0; CPm = 11.0. Each normalized component score will then be weighted by the percentages above to produce a Final
Grade Score using the formula below:
Final Grade Score = 0.40*(CPi / CPm) + 0.30*(APi / APm) + 0.30*(GAi / GAm)

There is no predetermined relationship between absolute numeric scores and letter grades.
Numeric final grades will be converted to letter grades by ranking all Final Grade scores and assigning letter grades according to Booth grading policy (e.g., a maximum GPA of 3.33).
