The following calculator lets you assess what overall score you might expect from this class. At this point, you already have your scores for evening exams 1, 2, and 3. Enter those into the appropriate boxes below. Then estimate what your Final Exam Score might be and enter that.

For the other parts of the calculation, it should not be hard for a serious student to obtain 100 in each of those categories. PRS scores to date are not yet available, but enter a rough estimate (errors in this prediction will have small effects on the total score). Similarly, you might not have a lab score estimate yet. Most students who have put a solid effort into the lab can expect a relatively high score.

The histogram at right shows an overall class prediction, assuming that each of you scores on the Final the same as your average over the first three exams, and assuming that everyone gets full credit for OWL, PRS, and the lab.

Try different values for those scores that you can still influence and see what the effect is on your total score.

The following lists minimal set points for grading. I reserve the right to expand some of these set points downwards (in other words, allowing lower scores to earn higher letter grades), but I won't move any of them upwards.
A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D F
100-90 89-86 85-83 82-80 79-76 75-73 72-70 69-66 65-61 60-0
