Computation of grades
If your grade on the final exam is less than 40%, then your grade in the course is F. If your grade on the final exam is at least 40%, then your grade in the course will be calculated as follows:
- Quizzes: 20%
- Midterm exams: 20% each
- Final exam: 40%
In the computation of the quizzes portion of your grade, your lowest two quiz marks will be dropped. If you miss a quiz, this counts as one of the quiz marks that will be dropped. The weight of your lowest midterm will be transferred to the final exam, if this is to your advantage. Midterm exams cannot be rescheduled. If you miss a midterm exam, this is the midterm whose weight will be transferred to the final exam.
