Explanation of midterm grade calculation:
The weights for final grades in the coures will be final exam 25%,
midterm exam and prob. sets 12.5% each, labs 50% (see
course front page). To calculate midterm grades, the midterm exam was weighted
as the sum of the final and midterm exams will be weighted, i.e. 37.5%,
to reflect the contribution from test performance.
Two averages were used -- with lab extra credit and w/out.
The basic letter grades were assigned w/out extra credit so that no one
was penalized for not doing extra credit.
Then, extra credit was used to improve the grades of those whose rankings went
up significantly with it. Final grades will be calculated in similar
fashion. Anyone with questions about his
or her grade should
email Professor LaPaugh.
