PHYS 1301 -- Bain
Grade Estimator

Instructions: Enter your score for each category below to estimate your raw score in the course. You need to input all of the fields. Make projections for exams you haven't taken yet. Click on each grade category title for a link to where you need to get each score from. Enter each category exactly as it appears on your CASA/TopHat/Mastering account (e.g. Don't round your TopHat to 100% if you're at 83%). Do NOT replace your lowest exam by hand as the calculator will do that automatically.

NOTE: Recitations began being counted the week of January 28th. Enter the number of weeks in which you have NOT attended ANY recitation sections. If you scored <70% on the diagnostic, recitations will count towards your grade. A letter grade distribution has NOT been set. Use the standard 10 pt. UH grading scale (A=90+, B=80+, C=70+, D=60+) as an estimate. The thresholds for letter grades will be no lower than these cutoffs. A letter grade range of "B" could mean B, B+, or B-.

F 1-4 Class: If you are in the Friday 1-4 pm section of my PHYS 1301 course, where it says "TopHat Attendance" you need to enter the number of classes you've attended divided by the number of total classes. These numbers can be found on the Blackboard grade center.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate of your raw score and a lower bound estimate of your letter grade. These estimates should NOT be consdiered official.
