To calculate your course average, use the following formula:

Exam 1 was worth 15%. Multiply your score by .15
Exam 2 was worth 15%. Multiply your score by .15
Exam 3 was worth 20%. Multiply your score by .2
Exam 4 is worth 25%. Multiply your score by .25
For the quizzes (the in-class ones on the documents only!), drop your three lowest scores, average the rest, and multiply that average by 10. (Example: if your average is an 8.5, turn that into an 85.) Your quiz average (x 10) is worth 25%. Multiply that result by .25
Add the products of each of your multiplications above. The sum is your course average.
