Computing final marks - maths100
- The final mark is 40% term work and 60% exam
- Term work consists of webwork and five quizzes
- Webwork = 15%
- Quizzes = 5 of them totaling 25%
- Your term grade may be subject to some mild scaling - see below.
Scaling of marks across sections of Maths100 and Maths180
- After the final exam has been marked, term marks (everything except the final exam) for each section may be scaled.
- If this does happen, then the term marks for each section are scaled so that the distribution of term marks is close to the distribution of final exam marks of that section.
- These adjusted term marks will be used to compute a student's final grade.
- This scaling is performed in order to ensure fairness across sections.
