Grades

Computation of grades

If your grade on the final exam is less than 45%, then your grade in the course will be your grade on the final exam. If your grade on the final exam is at least 45%, then your grade in the course will be calculated according to one of the following schemes. Your grade will be calculated according to the scheme that results in a higher grade.

  • Homework: 20%
  • Midterm: 30%
  • Final exam: 50%
  • Homework: 20%
  • Midterm: 10%
  • Final Exam: 70%

In the computation of the homework portion of your grade, your lowest homework mark will be replaced by your grade on the final exam if this is to your advantage.

Midterm exams cannot be rescheduled. If you miss the midterm exam for a legitimate (properly documented) reason, its weight will be added to the weight of the final exam in the computation of your course grade.
