Final Score

Your final score is going to be calculated by the following scheme:

Scheme I = (1/3)FE + (7/30)ME1 + (7/30)ME2 + (1/5)HW,

where FE, MEi, HW are the scores (in %) for Final Exam, Midterm i, Homework.

You will also have an option to skip the final exam and in that case your score will be calculated by the scheme

Scheme II = (3/8)ME1 + (3/8)ME2 + (1/4)HW.

Important Note: If you decide to opt out of taking the final exam, you must notify me by email no later than 5pm on Tue, Dec 10. If you fail to do so, your score will be calculated by Scheme I.
