.....and about our Moon Dance Ritual

When we come to the Moon Dance, we profoundly express that we want to grow internally, but for this you need to make an effort with your physical body. This way we purge the vices that the wrong education has left us. We believe that cleaning our bodies is the way we can blossom with our gifts and qualities that were given to us since our birth. Those gifts and qualities will help us to accomplish our mission that is written in our destiny. The sweat lodge, the dance, the fasting, and the silence are all tools for purification and access to the spirit. We consider that the fasting of four days is correct. Fasting is highly important to clean our energetic body, being able to reach a higher vibration level. That’s the way it is in the Borgia Codex which is our principal guide for our work. We must be conscious that our spirit which was called nahual by our ancestors, grows with our ritual. We pray so that all the women are full of light, wisdom and of strength ....Grandmother Tonalmitl.

Is there such thing as an A ++ grade?

For example, an A/A- is numerically (95+91.25)/2=93.125, which is an A slightly lower than 95/A. A frequent complaint is that you "lose 5 points" for a 95=A. But I treat 100 as more like an A++. So the few students who achieved a perfect score in all 7 quizzes deserve 100.

Grading Numerology

I use percentages to map to letter grades. The percentages mirror the 4.0 scale, except that where a GPA difference of 1.0 corresponds to a full letter grade, I use a percentage difference of 10. The table below shows the conversion from numerical grades to letter grades. Number → Letter Conversion Numerical Grade Letter Grade ≥ 97.5 A+ ≥ 92.5 A ≥ 90.0 A- ≥ 87.5 B+ ≥ 82.5 B ≥ 80.0 B- ≥ 77.5 C+ ≥ 72.5 C ≥ 70.0 C- ≥ 67.5 D+ ≥ 62.5 D ≥ 60.0 D- < 60.0 E Often I will grade with letter grades on subparts of an assignment, convert to numbers for averaging (or weighted averaging), and then back into letter grades using the above table. For conversion from letter grades to numerical grades, I use the middle of the numerical range above. Thus, an A is a 95, halfway between 90 and 100. An A- is a 91.25, halfway between 90 and 92.5. Etc. Grades between these are averages. For example, an A/A- is numerically (95+91.25)/2=93.125, which is an A slightly lower than 95/A. A frequent complaint is that you "lose 5 points" for a 95=A. But I treat 100 as more like an A++. So the few students who achieved a perfect score in all 7 quizzes deserve 100.

Here is the letter → number conversion more precisely:

Letter → Number Conversion Letter Grade Numerical Grade A+ 98.75 A 95.00 A- 91.25 B+ 88.75 B 85.00 B- 81.25 C+ 78.75 C 75.00 C- 71.25 D+ 68.75 D 65.00 D- 61.25 E 55.00
