Determining what you need on the final in order to get the grade that you want.

To find the lab and quizzes grade total (L&QTotal), take the highest 17 scores from the ten quizzes, 10 labs and 1 swine flu quiz. (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 below to determine the number of points needed.

Grading Scale
A	4.00	360.00 – 400 points
A-	3.67	354.00 – 359.99 points
B+	3.33	338.00 – 353.99 points
B	3.00	320.00 – 337.99 points
B-	2.67	314.00 -- 319.99 points
C+	2.33	298.00 -- 313.99 points
C	2.00	258.00 – 297.99 points
D	1.00	240.00 – 257.99 points
E	0.00	Below 239.99 points

Points needed on Final = PointsOnSyllabus – Total_Before_Final.

Example: Suppose that I have an 80 on Exam 1 and a 74 on Exam 2. I also have 2 points from EC1 and 2 points from EC2. The table has my lab and quiz scores. I have dropped the lowest four scores in red.

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

L&QTotal = 6+6+6+6+6+6+6+5+6+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+EC1+EC2+L&QTotal+Final.
