Course categories and weights

It turns out the final percentage is based on total points, not weighted averages. We're not calculating the average atomic mass for your final grade. It is just a simple (part / whole) x 100 to calculate the percent. Since your class has 1980 total points, 90% of 1980 is (0.90 x 1980) = 1782 points. 80% of 1980 = 1524 points. 

Academic Integrity- what you should or should not use for answers in discussions or constructed response questions

Advice for how to use artificial intelligence software. 

Students will not earn full credit for assignments if Ms. Getz cannot tell that independent thought was used. If you trick her into giving you full credit, "yay" for you. It would be best if you still learned how to think for yourself.
