Your total points for each area of Literacy Quizzes, Projects/ Exams, and Lab Work will be divided by the total points for that area giving you the Grade for that area. The resulting grade will be shown as above. These results will be added together giving you a total percentage for the course from 0-100. The corresponding letter grade will be assigned as follows:

100-90=A  89-80=B  79-70=C  69-60=D  59-0=F, 100-70 CR 69-0 NC
