Criteria and Weights in computing the FINAL GRADE (FG)

(a) If the final exam coverage are all topics discussed from the beginning of the semester:
Final Grade (FG) = 1/3 MTG + 2/3 FTG;
MTG – Midterm grade
FTG – Final term grade

(b) If the final exam coverage are all topics from the midterm examination.
Final Grade (FG) = 1/2 MTG + 1/2 FTG

Disclaimer:
 Every attempt is made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the subject. However, circumstances and events make it necessary for the instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the progress, needs, and experiences
of the students.
