In each class, students are graded on how much they pay attention in class, how well they work in groups, how well they do on projects, and how well they do on tests. Even though the importance of each area varies from professor to professor and subject to subject, it is safe to say that in most classes, a large part of the final grade will be based on how much you participate in class. The scale for giving grades is based on a curve like this: (maybe a little different depending on the class)Top 15% = AMiddle 75% = B+ to B-Bottom 10% = C
