TESTS: 6 tests are given as shown on this Course Syllabus Link for 100 points each and a comprehensive final for 200 points. No make-up tests may be taken.

Two 100% correct Gateway Properties Tests are required to pass this class.

A for 90 points or above,
B for 80 to 89 points,
C for 70 to 79 points,
D for 50 to 69 points, and
F for under 50 points.
