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 homework/Maple Labs scores. The second way, ignoring exam 2, and only adding up the scores of exam 1, the Final, the homework/Maple labs score 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 homework/Maple Labs score. 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!.

What do you need to do in order to join the Second Chance Club for Exam 2?

In order to qualify, you must

• Don't write me Email asking me questions whose answers are clearly stated in this page.

• You should attend ALL the remaining FOUR recitations, 8:40-10:00am on Nov. 30, Dec. 3, Dec. 7, Dec. 10. If it conflicts with another class (or other legitimiate obligation, or is late at night for you), you must watch them and submit the attendance quizzes that will be given during these recitations. These will focus on frequent mistakes and conceptual gaps that students made in both exams.

• Be in good standing as far as the homework (and submitting all the attendance quizzes). I will check them more carefully than usual.

• Complete (and do a good job!) the SCC2 SCC2 Worksheet due Dec. 13, 2020, 8:00pm to the usual Email DrZcalc3@gmail.com as file scc2FirstLast.pdf   .
