Regarding the changes to your grading weights: https://acbart.github.io/2026/04/19/proctored-grades/

Sounds like 50/50 for the distribution? That means you are okay with a student getting a 40% across all your quizzes and then passing the class with a C-?

What an odd bit to latch onto. What ratio would you find more appropriate?
I mean, did you read the linked article?
That's not me, but I do weight 50/50.

My experience is that no students get a C- except for students who blow the first part of the class and try to work back. I usually work a deal out with them anyway.
