The final grade you earn is the weighted average of:
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.

F |
55% ≤ score < 60% : |
C+ |
30% ≤ score < 35% : |

60% ≤ score < 65% : |

35% ≤ score < 40% : |
