  The final exam has been graded and the scores have been posted to Score Reports. I have also assigned the course grades and you can also see them in the Score Reports. When computing the course point total, each of the midterms has been  rescaled  to a maximum of 100 points, the h/wks were rescaled to a maximum of 100 points and the final exam has been rescaled to a maximum of 200 points, for the maximum total of 100+100+100+200=500 points. Two low h/wk scores were dropped.

The course grades were assigned as follows:

Grade	A+	A	A-	B+	B	B-	C+	C	C-	D+	D	D-	F
Range	475-500	450-474	425-49	405-424	385-404	365-384	343-383	322-342	300-321	275-299	250-274	225-249	0-224
