How to compute your grade

(feel free to write a JAVA program for this – I used MATLAB, though.)

 

o        Compute your grade four each of the four subsections (see tables below):

1.      quiz

2.      midterm

3.      lab

4.      final

 

o        From the 4 sub-grades, compute the scores: A=4, A- = 3.666, B+ = 3.333, B= 3 … F = 0

 

o        Compute the total score TS by: TS = 0.2*(scoreQuiz + scoreMidterm) + 0.3*(scoreLab + scoreFinal)

 

o        Compute your preliminary Grade PG from the TS: PG: TS=4 => A, TS=3.666 => B+ …

 

o        Apply the 3 point rule: your final score can not be better than 3 points away from the min. of lab score and final exam grade. Example: PG is C, but final or lab is F, then the course grade is D (F 3 steps up).
