What are the privileges of membership in the Second Chance Club for Exam 2?

If you are only member of SCC2 then

If you qualify for membership, then your course grade will be computed in two ways. The first way is the usual way, adding up all the scores of exam 1, exam 2, the Final and the score from the TA. The second way, ignoring exam 2, and only adding up the scores of exam 1, the Final, and score from the TA, divided by 400 and then multiplied by 500 (this is called pro-rating it). Whatever is higher, is the score that will determine your course grade, determined according to the scale:

450-500:A ;   420-449: B+ ;   390-419: B ;   360-389: C+ ;   315-359: C ;   270-314: D ;   0-269: F . No Curve!.

If you are a member of both SCC1 and SCC2 then

If you qualify for membership, then your course grade will be computed in two ways. The first way is the usual way, adding up all the scores of exam 1, exam 2, the Final and the score from the TA. The second way, ignoring both exams 1 and exam 2, and only adding up the scores of the Final, and score from the TA, divided by 300 and then multiplied by 500 (this is called pro-rating it). Whatever is higher, is the score that will determine your course grade, determined according to the scale:

450-500:A ;   420-449: B+ ;   390-419: B ;   360-389: C+ ;   315-359: C ;   270-314: D ;   0-269: F . No Curve!.
