For Blog of One’s Own Students students who want to know their grades for the course, you can view your scores on Blackboard. It will display what you got for the major course components, and I think your My Grades view will also display a “Running Weighted Total,” which is what your grade for the course is.
This is how the final grade is calculated: semester-long project 40%, blog 25%, attendance and participation 25%, and drafts and peer review 10%.
As you’ll see, I’ve used the KSC grade scale (A, AB, B) rather than A, A-, B+, B, since that’s the scale that is used by the Registrar in records and transcripts. The percentage equivalents are:
A 95%
AB 90%
B 85%
BC 80%
C 75%
CD 70%
D 65%
F 0-60%
I’m pleased to say that I had to use the upper end of the grade scale much more the lower, this semester!
