Midterm Reflection

• Assignment Description

• Resume How-To Presentation

• Reflection

• Paragraph format for each discussion point.

• While there is no page length, you do need to be detailed. No one/two sentence answers.

• Calculating your POLS Grade as of right now

• MindTap Total Possible Points = 180

• MindTap Chapters 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 /6 /7 (remember that Ch 1 did not count)

• Add up all of your points and see how many you have now.

• Exam Total Possible Points = 250

• Add up your two exam grades and see how many you have now.

• Get your overall total points and divide by 430. That will show you were you stand, so you know if you have a D, B, C or A.

• COMM Grade

• There is a total points column that should have your total points out of a possible 180 points. (this doesn't count today's exam points)

• The column shows your letter grade, but you should do the math yourself. That way you can see where you stand for that letter grade. 80? 85? Or 89?

• Seminar Grade

• Check a column that say Seminar Grade. It says what number grade you have (Ex. 86).

• I DO NOT go by points, so do not check that column.

Midterm Grades

• When you return, professors will be entering Midterm Grades and they should be released to you by March 28th.

• So it is important that you know where you stand since immediately afterwards, the registration and drop date come by.

• Jaxie - Academic Probation / Suspension
