CS 350 - Grading Scheme

How your final grade will be calculated

First, three component marks will be determined as follows:

Component Description
A1, A2, A3 Your grades on assignments 1-3, expressed as percentages
M Your midterm grade, expressed as a percentage
F Your final exam grade, expressed as a percentage

Component	Description
A1, A2, A3	Your grades on assignments 1-3, expressed as percentages
M	Your midterm grade, expressed as a percentage
F	Your 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
if ( Exam < 50% )
    Course = min (Normal, Exam)
else
    Course = Normal
