    • Method of grading computation

    Let

  • Grade0=(15*Webwork + 15*Attendance + 15*Midterm1 + 15*Midterm2 + 40*Final) / 100
  • Grade1=(15*Webwork + 15*Attendance + (15*Midterm2 + 40*Final)*70/55)/100
  • Grade2=(15*Webwork + 15*Attendance + (15*Midterm1 + 40*Final)*70/55)/100
  • Grade3=(15*Webwork + 15*Attendance + 70*Final)/100

    • If you have fullfilled all the requirements of the second chance club for Midterm 1 only, then your final grades will be computed as

    Max(Grade0, Grade1)

    If you have fullfilled all the requirements of the second chance club for Midterm 2 only, then your final grades will be computed as

    Max(Grade0, Grade2)

    If you have fullfilled all the requirements of the second chance club for both Midterm 1 and Midterm 2, then your final grades will be computed as

    Max(Grade0, Grade1, Grade2, Grade3)
