Raw Scores Exam 3


Important:  These grades are the "exam grades". They do not include any extra-credit homework bonuses which will only be added to your average of three exams after the end of the class.
But if you want to see where you currently stand, here is an example:
You have a 29/46 raw score (63% score on the exam - as posted) and you have a 60/80 (or 75% right) from the extra-credit homeworks.  This means your revised "boosted" grade will be 63 + 0.75 x 3.2 (which is 5% of 63) = 63 + 2.4 = 65.4%.
Another actual example: Somebody scored 42/46 (91.3%) on the first Exam and had a 70/80 ( or 0.88) from the extra-credit homeworks. This means that the total score is 91.3 + 91.3 x 0.05 x 0.88 =91.3 + 4.0 = 94.3  which of course is an A.  Then check out the announced grading scale below, and you will get a rough idea where you currently stand.
