Revised Grading policy

The final exam can be used in place of either midterm 1 or midterm 2 (but not both).
More precisely, the exam grade for the course will be calculated as the maximum of:


.20 x (Midterm 1 grade) + .30 x (Midterm 2 grade) + .50 x (Final exam grade)
.20 x (Final exam grade) + .30 x (Midterm 2 grade) + .50 x (Final exam grade)
.20 x (Midterm 1 grade) + .30 x (Final exam grade) + .50 x (Final exam grade)

If the section grade is greater than the exam grade:
Course grade = .25 x (section grade) + .75 x (exam grade).
Otherwise: Course grade = Exam grade

The exam grades, and the section grade, will be scores out of 100.
