Points needed to pass?

[kateraelDis1L]

Hi, I am wondering how many points are needed (or how many we can miss) in 14B in order to end with a B? B-? C+? C? and C- ? Idk how to do the calculations so if someone has figured it out I'd love to know.
Thanks in advance ;)

[Ryan Laureano 3I]

I know that you can miss a maximum of 28 points to keep an A in the class (not A-). I don't know for the other grades, but you can use the syllabus and the point distribution and put that information into RogerHub calculator to find out what you need for your desired grade. Keep in mind the grade distribution in this class.

[Allan Nguyen 2G]

From what I've heard for this class, getting more than 200 points lets you pass the class. Basically, a 50% in this class is a passing grade.

[Will Pham 1J]

I believe the syllabus says "50% or higher is required to pass with a C- or higher".

[Darlene Lien 3E]

Also, here's the link to the syllabus if you want to get more info.

[SamanthaTolentino 3D]

We need at least 50% of the points in order to have a C- in the class. I think the class has a total of 400 points this quarter so 200 should be passing.

[Uyenvy Nguyen 1D]

I'm pretty sure we can miss 200 points to pass with a C-, since 50% is a C- in this class. I am assuming 320/400 points would be the minimum for a B-, since that is 80%, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

You only need a 50% (200/400) to pass the class with a C- :>

[Anvy 1G]

I firmly believe that passing this class is entirely possible. with a B if you actually try howver. I calculated that literally getting half the points on every test would get you the C- anything else is just additional. then again making up for the points by just typing your heart out is also a good idea.

[Julianna Shimabukuro 1D]

As others stated, you would need 200/400 of the points or 50% to get a C- and pass the class.

[505598869]

Im pretty sure 50% is a C

[Shalyn Kelly 3H]

As stated above, 200/400 points will get you a C- which is passing, but I'm unsure of how many points warrant the other grades. 320/400 for a B- (80%) seems understandable though.

[Jenaye Brelland 2I]

How much would be needed to get a C or a C+?

[John_Tran_3J]

As long as u finish all the sapling and chem community points, u can pass the class with a C-

[Emily Jacobo 1C]

Yeah pretty much if you do the sapling and chemistry community posts you could easily reach the 200 points needed to get a C- or 50% in this class which is passing. It worked the same way last quarter in 14A.

[Juliana Rosales 1H]

I wasn't exactly sure either, but now I am after reading this post. Now I think I am going to have to see how many points I have lol. I know I already missed out on some.

[TiffanyBrownfield 2I]

Considering you only need a 200/400 you could essentially get a 50% on all the tests and still pass with a 250/400. This assuming you get full credit for sapling and chemistry community requirements.

[Namratha Gujje]

If you get a total of 200 points out of 400 then you can pass the class with a C-

[705383815]

Someone said you can finish all of the HW and Chem Comm questions to pass this class. Basically, as long as you try your best, you can pass this class. I would recommend trying on tests and quizzes since that might bump up your score, but otherwise, you can still pass. I hope this helps; I myself have sought consolation in knowing that I need not know the content as well as others to pass the class. May that console yourself as well.

[Michael Cardenas 3B]

You need a 50% to pass with a C-, which I believe is equal to 200/400 points possible.

[Lily Anne Garcia 1C]

theres a total of 400 points you can calculate how manhy points you can miss for the desired grade

[Brandon Gruender 3F]

You need to get 200 or more points to pass with a C-.

[Lauren Strickland 1B]

You need to get a 50% to pass which is 200 points.

[Jalyn 3G]

You need a 50% (200/400) to pass with a C-, however, if you're doing P/NP grading, keep in mind that a C- is considered a no pass, so you'll need to get at least a 73% for a C in this class to get a pass.

[Cooper Kinne 2E]

If you're just worried about passing with the 200/400 points, Sapling and ChemistryCommunity already gets you halfway there :)

[Jonathan3B]

50% of the total points in this class will land you with a C-.

[Marco Vivar 3G]

A C- is from 200 points which is half the total points

[Constance Newell]

From what I understand its much easier to get a C then it is to get an A... i think a 50% is needed for a C

[Anvy 1G]

From what I am aware, literally full points on the Chem community and maybe less than 90% on the Sapling, 50% on all midterms somewhat, and maybe like 30 points on the final and you have a C- the calculation is raw but honestly its well done,

[Adrienne Yuh 2B]

I think a 50% is needed to pass the class, but 28 points are the max you can miss to get an A.

[Britney Tran IJ]

200 for c-

[Nina Fukui 2J]

200 points is equal to a 50% which is said to be a C- (pass) for this class

[Navdha Sharma 3J]

I think you need a C- to pass which means that you have to have 200 points for that.

[Eric Ngo 1F]

200 points equals a C- in this class! That is all we need to pass

[Chelsea_Guzman_3C]

The syllabus states that you need at least a 50% to pass the class with a C-

[Joel Meza 3I]

I think you need 90% for an A- and so forth like what we were used to in high school, but instead of the minimum for a C- being something like 70%, it's 50% for this class. Lavelle never really explained grades, except for that a 50% gives a C-.

[Jenaye Brelland 2I]

Yeah pretty much if you do the sapling and chemistry community posts you could easily reach the 200 points needed to get a C- or 50% in this class which is passing. It worked the same way last quarter in 14A.

Does getting a C- allow us to take Chem 14C?

[shevanti_kumar_1E]

Yeah pretty much if you do the sapling and chemistry community posts you could easily reach the 200 points needed to get a C- or 50% in this class which is passing. It worked the same way last quarter in 14A.

Does getting a C- allow us to take Chem 14C?

Yes, the prerequisite for Chem 14C is minimum a C- in Chem 14B.

[Nicole Critzer 2L]

I think getting a C- does let you take 14C because its passing right?

[lauren_tran_1L]

I believe it's 50% and the class is out of 400 so it would be 200 points.

[Kyla Villarama 1E]

I think getting a C- does let you take 14C because its passing right?

Yeah a C- is passing so you can take 14C!

[Juliana Rosales 1H]

200 points in this class will get you a C-. That would be 50%. Also if you are in a certain major maybe check to see if a C is the lowest grade you can get

[OmarArafat_2K]

The policy is pretty lenient, the syllabus says that a 50% or higher is required to pass with a C- or higher.

[Shivani Kapur 2J]

According to the syllabus, a 50% or higher is needed to pass the class.

[Can Yilgor 2D]

To pass, you will have to earn 50% of the total points, which corresponds to 200/400.

Hope this helps

[Katelyn_Ortega_1D]

To pass the class you need 50% of the points possible, so you need 200 points as it is out of 400. That would put you at a C-.

[Simer_Shera_2D]

I believe 50% is a passing score.

[Mehreen 3I]

If you have 200 final points that's a C-.

[alexandralopez 3F]

50% of the possible would be a C-

[Shana Patel 1C]

You need to get atleast 50% in the class to get a C- and pass the class. If not, then you will need to repeat the class. That is 200/400 points

[Darren1j]

200 points= 50%= c- = Pass!

[Kaiya_PT_1H]

Has he said anything about the number of points needed for a B? I didn't see anything about it in the syllabus.

[Brenda Silva 1B]

In order to pass the class, obtaining a C-, 200/400 points is required.

[Jonathan3B]

I think it might be the same as 14A where 50% if the total point in this class will land you with a c-.

[Ismar Zamora]

200 points

[Daniel Hernandez 1G]

To earn at least C-, you must earn at least 200 out of the 400 possible points.

[Cooper_Geralds_3B]

I believe you must earn 200/400 total points to end with a final passing grade of C-.

[Emily_Stenzler_2H]

I believe a 50% or higher is needed to pass the class.

[Taylor Newville 1C]

Does he offer extra credit?

[Mary Gallo 1G]

A C-, or minimum passing grade, in this class would be receiving 200/400 points.

[Savana Maxfield 3F]

Does he offer extra credit?

Unfortunately, he typically does not offer extra credit :( The only "extra credit" available will be on exams in the form of bonus questions, I believe.

[Kaleb Tuliau 3E]

So if we did bad on the first midterm but received a better grade on the second do you think we should keep the class?

[Seraphina Joseph 1C]

With a C- you can pass the class and go on to 14C, but with a C- you get a no pass if you choose pass no pass grading.

[MMorcus2E]

Yes, I agree with what was said so far. A 200/400 would give you a C- in the course. Just make sure that it fits your grading type and that it wouldn't hurt your status for your major!

[705512695]

If you get half the points in the class you pass.

[Ismar Zamora]

200

[jasonfarrales3D]

I believe you only need a 50% in the class (aka 200 total points) to pass with a C-.

[Alara Aygen 3K]

You'll need 200 points out of 400 points to pass.

[Teti Omilana 1G]

a 50%, or a 200/400 is needed to pass.

[Presley Gao 2C]

You would need at least 200 points to pass (out of a total of 400 points) since a 50% or higher is a passing grade for this course. Otherwise, standard grading metrics apply.

[alexandralopez 3F]

50% of the points are needed to pass (C-)

[Andrew Dao 3C]

50%, which is considered a C- in this class. So you need 200 points or more out of the 400 available, which comes from 50 sapling, 50 chemistry community, 80 for each midterm, and 140 for the final.

[Ashley Wagner 2A]

50% (C-) is needed to pass, which is 200 points.

[Emily Jacobo 1C]

Essentially 200 points or 50% is needed to pass the class with a C-. So if you do all the sapling and chemistry community points, you only need 100 points of midterm and final to pass, which is very helpful and generous.

[Lillian]

I think you need a 50% in the class to pass with a C-, or at least that's what I've heard.

[005137088]

50% to pass the class.

[Shana Patel 1C]

You need a 50% to pass with a C-, which is equal to 200/400 points.
