Finite Mathematics for Business and Economics
Homework and suggested exercises
Important: The following student-friendly algorithm will be used to compute the final grade for this course:
Part I
1) The worst of the three quiz
marks will be discarded. Each of the remaining two quiz marks will be
stretched
to out of 7.5% (so that the total of 15% for the quizzes is preserved).
2) The worst of the three midterm
marks will be discarded. Each of the remaining two midterm marks will
be
stretched to out of 22.5% (so that the total of 45% for the midterms is
preserved).
3) The final exam remains out of
40%.
Part II
1) The worst of the three quiz
marks will be discarded. The 5% for this mark will be added to the
final
exam percentage.
2) The worst of the three midterm
marks will be discarded. The 15% for this mark will be added to the
final
exam percentage.
3) The final exam is out of
5%+15%+40%=60%.
Part III
Your final grade will be the
better of the two grades obtained in the
first
two parts.
Students who did not write either one quiz or one midterm (or one quiz and one midterm) received zero on the corresponding test(s), so their worst mark(s) is (are) 0 and they fit into this grading scheme.
Students who do not like the above scheme will be evaluated by the original scheme:-)
Students who do
not fit into the above scheme (missed more
than a quiz and a midterm) should contact me.
