CS 146: Grading

Grading

The grading scheme for CS 146 in Winter 2024, if the term goes according to plan with all assessments completed in person, is as follows:

Assignments: 20%
Quizzes: 5%
Midterm Exam: 25%
Final Exam: 50%

If the midterm is cancelled, but not the final, the midterm's weighting will be redistributed:

Assignments: 27%
Quizzes: 5%
Final Exam: 68%

Similarly, if the final is cancelled, but not the midterm, then the final's weighting will be redistributed:

Assignments: 38%
Quizzes: 5%
Midterm Exam: 57%

If both in-person assessments are cancelled, and without enough notice to for us to implement alternative assessments, then both their weightings will be redistributed:

Assignments: 95%
Quizzes: 5%

On the other hand, if the course moves to be completely online early enough in the term, then we will implement an alternative final assessment, under the following scheme:

Assignments: 60%
Quizzes: 5%
Final Assessment: 35%

Each assignment is weighted uniformly within its category.

There are more details about the reasons for these weightings on the Assignments and Exams pages.
