- A is for Abstract
The short news: All A’s in my classes.
Longer version: For those of you not familiar with AAU online (and why I have this blog) there are 4 grading milestones in the long/regular semester. These happen every 4-5 weeks.
- First Progress Grades
- Midterm Grades
- Second Progress Grades
- Final Grades
There are also other grades you can look up :
- Assignment Grades
- Test Grades
In my PH601 class the grading policy is:
| 10% | Quizzes |
| 20% | Discussion |
| 25% | Assignments |
| 15% | Midterm |
| 30% | Final Project |
And my PH612 grading policy:
| 10% | Quizzes |
| 30% | Discussion |
| 20% | Assignments |
| 15% | Midterm Project |
| 25% | Final Project |
My 601 professor Marc Ullom gave out A’s for all the milestone grades whereas my PH612 professor Jim Sienkiewicz only gives out B+’s as the highest grade you can get for the first 3 milestone grades. Given that I got a B on my midterm I was concerned about getting an A or a B+ for a final grade.
A fellow student in one course got a B+. She did very good work and followed along on assignments and submitted exemplary work. The only problem was she didn’t participate in disucssions over the entire semester. I’ll post about that later.
Happy Christmahanukwanzaakah!
