CE #2.2 - Assigned 12/11, due 12/11 - CE

Factoring your grade in my class:

Soon you will be taking your semester final in my class. Remember that this is worth 20% of your overall grade. I will share with you your cumulative grades before you take the final so you know exactly what you need to pass the class. 

1 9 weeks = 40%
2 9 weeks = 40%
Final Exam = 20%

The simple way to factor your average is to do the following:

Add these 5 grades to get a total. 
1st 9 weeks grade - you have this grade
1st 9 weeks grade - you have this grade
2nd 9 week grade - you have this grade
2nd 9 week grade - you have this grade
Final Exam - UNKNOWN

This total will be something between 1 and 400 points. 
With your final exam, you will have a total of 500 points possible

You need 450 points for a 90
400 for an 80
350 for a 70

Here is an example:

Sarah got an 89 1st 9 weeks TIMES 2
She got a 93 2nd 9 weeks TIMES 2
Those add up to 364.
To get a 90 for the semester, she needs an 86 on the final
To get an 80 for the semester, she needs a 36 on the final
To get a 70 for the semester, she has enough points, but she will have to turn in a completed exam to make sure she passes for the semester.

If you have more questions please ask.
