Explanation of quiz scores


10 required quizzes (on Baxter, White, Wenz, Jamieson/speciesism, Regan, Jamieson/biocentrism, Rolston, Jamieson ways of valuing nature, Jamieson on natural values, and environmental action). There were also over a dozen free quizzes including one in class free quiz.

On each quiz:

A check means you answered correctly and this is equal to a 4 =A

1/2 means I wasn't sure how much or if you read; this equals a 2 = C

A slash ------ means you did not answer correctly; it’s a 0 = F

If you add up all the #s on your quizzes (using above key) and divide by 10 (for the 10 required quizzes), this will be the quiz grade number on the top of your quizzes. Use the chart below to translate the # into a grade. Quizzes count for 10% of your grade.

Note: If you also have free quizzes add them in and still divide by 10.
