It is your responsibility to keep track of how many SA credits you have earned and to make sure the course assistants records and yours agree. A T-score is simply a standard score that has been adjusted to have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. When a graded exam is returned, you will find two numbers at the top. The T-score will tell you exactly where you stand relative to the rest of your classmates. However, score distribution statistics will be made available from which you can easily calculate your T-score for a particular exam.
Standard scores have important advantages over raw scores.
In particular, they guarantee that the exams will count equally toward your final grade even if the exams differ greatly in their difficulty level. Moreover, the cumulative T-score tells you exactly how you are doing relative to your classmates at any point in the course. Should you still have questions about this procedure after reading this explanation and the text material on standard scores, please speak to one of the course assistants. No extensions or special arrangements will be made after that date except for verified medical or other emergencies. Check your exam schedule in other classes now for possible conflicts, as well as performance, athletic and other obligations.
