Grading Calculations for Methods of Research

For the final grades, the weights will be:  first exam 20%, second exam 20%, third exam 30%, assignments 30%.  Students who take the third exam on December 10 and achieve less than a C in the course may retake it on December 22.  They are also required to attend a review session on December 15 at 11:30. 

The following assignments are included in the Assignments grade.  All are weighted equally except the interviewing assignment which is weighted double.  The number of interviews was calculated based on the typed interview transcripts - if you did interviews but did not do the transcript, let me know so we cancheck these and give you half credit.  We have 100% for one interview, then an extra 20% for each additional interview completed.

The following assignments are included in the Assignments grade:
