CALCULATING YOUR FINAL GRADE • Your midterm: max. 100 points • Your quiz plus your final: max. 100 points • Your two papers: max. 2 x 50 points = max. 100 points • All these points will be added up and divided by 3. • To that number will be added your max. 4 extra credit points, and penalties for excessive absences will be subtracted. The new number will be your preliminary final grade. If your grade is borderline, your class participation will determine your ultimate final grade. • For further information, check the “Final wrap-up” on the website, coming up.
