Coding a new application. Thought it doesn't do the complete coding for me, but does the boilerplate for me, so, it might be useful for me

Part of my philosophy if grading is what I call the "fair F". Basically, if students make an effort to fo an assignment, they get no less than 50%. Since each letter grade is worth 10% out of 100 A=90%+, B=80-89%, C=70-79%, D=60-69% an F should not be worth any less than 10% of 100 (50-59%). If an F is any less than 50%, that will unfairly drag a students grade average down.

Only time I give less than 50% is a zero for not doing the assignment at all.
