Here is a breakdown of J100 grading. This represents percentages
of final grades. Because the First Amendment Project is a single assignment worth
25% of the overall grade, the red figures show grade distribution for that assignment.
(DND means these students did not do the assignment, but did not drop the class.
There is a high correlation of F and D grades associated with those who did not
do the assignments.)
For older grade distributions please see the Journalism Program review, which
is downloadable from the Journalism web site.
NOTE: These percentages may vary slightly from official school
records because I have included all students who showed up for the first class
period. Some students fail to process class add cards.

From this point forward I'm including the percentage breakdowns
of the four major grade areas in the class as well as the overall grades. The
percentages are for those who remained in the class. The
overall grade shows the drop rate.
