[Unified-mailman] Mid-Term Grade Report Guidance

[Steven R. Hall]

Folks,

Many of you have asked for a little guidance on your standing in the  
class, given the information in the midterm reports. The Unified  
staff has designated the following ranges of concern:

1. The first range, between 12 and 20 points below Joe B, is a range  
where we have some concern about performance. In this range  
(depending on where you are in the range), a dip in performance or  
failure to bring grades up somewhat could result in a grade below CC  
or CD.

2. If you are more than 20 points below Joe B, failure to bring up  
performance may result in a grade of DD or worse. This is certainly a  
range where we have great concern, and hope that you will do all that  
you can to improve your performance.

There are many resources (homework assignments, web pages and  
textbooks) and people (faculty, teaching fellows and undergraduate  
TA's) available to help you improve your performance.  We would like  
to help.  If you are concerned about your performance, please contact  
me as soon as possible so that I can work with you to develop a plan  
for improving.

Regards,

Steven Hall
