Physics 237, Spring 2022.

The final grade you earn is the weighted average of:

1. Final exam (30 - 35%)
2. 3 Mid-term exams (15 - 20% each)
3. Homework (25%)

I will calculate the final grade in 4 different ways:

The final grade is based on the highest grade calculated using the 4 different methods outlined above.

I do not grade on a curve. Why should I assume that x% of you will be failing this course? If you all do an excellent job, you all deserve an A. If you all do a poor job, you all deserve to fail. How well your neighbor is doing should not affect your grade! In the table below I have listed the grading table I will be using in this course.

score < 30% :	F	55% ≤ score < 60% :	C+
30% ≤ score < 35% :	D-	60% ≤ score < 65% :	B-
35% ≤ score < 40% :	D	65% ≤ score < 70% :	B
40% ≤ score < 45% :	D+	70% ≤ score < 75% :	B+
45% ≤ score < 50% :	C-	75% ≤ score < 80% :	A-
50% ≤ score < 55% :	C	80% ≤ score :	A
