To find the lab and quizzes grade total (L&QTotal), take the highest 17 scores from labs and quizzes. (It is possible to earn up to 102. Anything earned above 100 is extra credit. (The two additional points.) Extra Credit Quizzes are not included in the L&QTotal, but in the total for the course.

To find your total points before the final, Total_before_Final=Exam1+Exam2+EC1+EC2+L&QTotal.

To determine the number of points that you need on the final to get a particular grade, use the chart on the syllabus to determine the number of points needed.

Points needed = PointsOnSyllabus – Total_Before_Final.

Grading Scale
A	4.00	360.00 – 400 points	90 to 100%
A-	3.67	354.00 – 359.99 points	88.5 to 89.99%
B+	3.33	338.00 – 353.99 points	84.5 to 88.49%
B	3.00	320.00 – 337.99 points	80 to 84.49%
B-	2.67	314.00 -- 319.99 points	78.5 to 79.99%
C+	2.33	298.00 -- 313.99 points	74.5 to 78.49%
C	2.00	258.00 – 297.99 points	64.5 to 74.49%
D	1.00	240.00 – 257.99 points	60 to 64.49%
E	0.00	Below 239.99 points	Below 60%

Example: Suppose that I have an 80 on Exam 1 and a 74 on Exam 2. I also have 2 points from ECBeginningoftheSemester and 2 points from ECEndoftheSemester. The table has my lab and quiz scores. I have dropped the lowest three scores in red.

L1: 6	L2: 6	L3: 6	L4: 6	L5: 6	L6: 6	L7: 6	L8: 0	L9:6	L10:5
Q1: 6	Q2: 6	Q3: 6	Q4: 0	Q5:2	Q6: 6	Q7:6	Q8: 6	Q9:6	Q10:6

L&QTotal = 6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+5+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6=101

Total_Before_Final= 80+74+2+2+101= 259

I want a B, which requires at least 320 points.

Points needed on final = 320-259=61. So, I must make at least a 61 on the final.

Final Grades will be determined by

TotalPoints= Exam1+Exam2+ECBeginningofSemester+ECEndofSemester+L&QTotal+Final.
