To calculate your final average
in the course, use the following steps:
1. Drop your two lowest in-class quiz scores,
average the rest, multiply that average by 10, and then
by .25 (or 25%). For example, if you averaged an 8
on these quizzes, your result from these calculations
will be 20.
2. Multiply your Exam 1 test score by .15 (or 15%).
3. Multiply your Exam 2 test score by .15 (or 15%).
4. Multiply your Exam 3 test score by .2 (or 20%).
5. Estimate your Exam 4 test score, and multiply it by
.25 (or 25%).
6. Add up the figures obtained from the calculations in
1 through 5, and you should arrive at your total
average.
