How Many Points for Failure?
Dr. Norma Lize is a young, dedicated college teacher who needs some advice. Dr. Lize uses a standard grading system for her courses: 90% and above is an A, 80-89% is a B, etc. Students take tests, submit papers and other assignments, participate in class, do group research projects—and earn points for each of these. Anything under 60% on an assignment earns an F. When a student’s average for all the assignments doesn’t reach 60%, the student fails the course.
