A number of methods for calculating grades were tried during my first few years, but I eventually settled on the following system.  If you are teaching in a technical college or community college, there is a real good likelihood you came from industry, and as such, you know what students need to know, and the skills they must have developed to be successful entry-level mechanics.  The reputation of your program depends on potential employers in your area being willing to hire your graduates.  As an instructor, your reputation rests, in part, on your fair assessment of your students' achievement and your ability to identify needed remedial learning activities and tailor them to individual students' needs.
