CS 350 - Grading Scheme

How your final grade will be calculated


First, three component marks will be determined as follows:

ComponentDescription
A1, A2, A3Your grades on assignments 1-3, expressed as percentages
MYour midterm grade, expressed as a percentage
FYour final exam grade, expressed as a percentage

Then, we will apply the following algorithm to determine your final course grade:

Normal = ( 0.1*A1 + 0.15*A2 + 0.1*A3 ) + 0.20*M + 0.45*F 
Exam   = ( 0.20*M + 0.45*F ) / 0.65
Assigns = ( 0.1*A1 + 0.15*A2 + 0.1*A3 )/ 0.35
if ( Exam < 50% )
    Course Grade = min (Normal, Exam)
else if ( Assigns < 50% )
    Course Grade = min (Normal, Assigns)
else
    Course Grade = Normal
