Editing Quantitative Methods for Communication (Spring 2022) (section)

= Grades =

I really believe that students and instructors should be on the same team, with the goal of learning. I see grades as a tool to motivate learning. Our goal will be to provide feedback that helps you to learn.

There are 500 points in the class, distributed across assignments as follows: 

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Assignment points
|-
|Midterm Exam 
| 100 points
|-
|Final Exam 
| 100 points
|-
| Survey Design Project
| 50 points
|-
|Survey Analysis Project 
| 80 points 
|-
| SPSS Quiz 1
| 50 points
|-
| SPSS Quiz 2
| 50 points
|-
| Lab Homework
| 50 points
|-
| Participation
| 20 points
|-
|}

Your final course grade will be calculated using the following scale: 

<div style=display:inline-table>
