Let X be the sum of your three midterm exam scores, and let Y be your quiz average out of fifty. X will be a number somewhere between 0 and 300, and Y will be between 0 and 50. Our ninth and final quiz will be on Dec 5. Remember to drop your lowest two quizes before averaging.
Let Z stand for the percentage corresponding to your target grade.
Letter grade: | A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | C- | D+ | D | D- |
Minimum required score: | 90% | 87% | 83% | 80% | 77% | 73% | 70% | 67% | 63% | 60% | 57% |
The final exam is worth 150 points. To achieve your target grade in the course, you must earn either Z*450 - X points or Z*500 - X - Y points out of 150 on the final, whichever is lower.
