Check your mathzone totals for mistakes this week.

Rough grading scale for for midterm 4: A > 43 > B > 33 > C > 23 > D > 14 > F.

To estimate grade going into the final, check with your TA to confirm your exam grades. Add your midterm scores and then compare with the chart below. Add a plus or minus if you are near the end of the ranges. If your mathzone or homework/quiz scores are low (below 80 percent or below 60 percent, respectively), move your grade down one grade notch.

A > 164 > B > 124 > C > 84 > D > 59 > F.
For example, someone with midterms of 34, 33, 28, 32, and good mathzone and decent quiz/homework scores would have a B-; with bad homework scores, the grade would be a C+.

Extra credit is added on after I compute the grades.
If your final exam grade is far above your pre-final grade, I will take that fact into account when deciding your final course grade.
