Grade Calculator

This form is designed to help you answer, at any point during the semester, the question, ``How am I doing in this class?'' Keep track of your scores in the blanks provided. At any time in the semester, add up all the points that you have earned, and divide by the number of possible points on the assignments that are already scored. Then multiply by 1000 and compare with the grade scale given in the syllabus. If the grade you are earning is not as good as you want, ask yourself some questions.
  1. Am I attending all the lectures and the recitation section?
  2. Am I putting in 6 hours a week outside of class?
  3. Am I reading the textbook before the lecture and asking questions in lecture about the things I don't understand?
  4. Am I starting the assignments early so I have time to get my questions answered?
  5. Am I going to my Lecturer or TA to get help with things that I'm stuck on?
If the answer to all these questions is ``yes'' and you are still unhappy with your progress in this class, please come and talk to me. I may be able to suggest some other ways you can improve your performance.
