Grading

Homework in E12 is graded on a 3-2-1-0 scale. The purpose of this grading scale is to clarify expectations and simplify feedback. Rather than having the graders choose between many different possible numbers, they will always choose between only these 4 scores. The mapping from these four options to percentages is not what you would expect from a numeric score. So, for example, a 2/3 is not worth 66% but is instead worth a different amount of points toward the final score in the class.

Scale	Interpretation	Score out of 100
3	Exhibits mastery of the subject matter and a comprehensive solution to the problem. Any mistakes are minor.	100
2	Some mistakes or ommissions, but an overall satisfactory solution to the problem.	85
1	Major mistakes or ommissions; learning objectives of the assignment appear to not have been met.	60
0	No serious attempt was made to solve the problem.	0

This grading scale will apply regardless of the weightage of a question. Scores intermediary to these numbers are not possible on an individual grade item.
