Timed Quiz Grading Scale William Wieland
You may take timed quizzes as many as three times. Each timed quiz lasts 2 minutes. Two timed quizzes will be offered at the beginning of the semester and one at the end to allow you time to practice and improve. I will keep only your highest grade. Because I offer three opportunities, I do not give make up quizzes. When you are satisfied with your grade, you may stop taking that particular quiz. Since timed quizzes are typically more stressful than ordinary quizzes, my timed quiz grading scale is more generous. 95% is an A. (An A is still more difficult to earn.). 80% is a B. 65% is a C. 50% is a D. Fewer than half correct is an F.
