Your overall score is calculated as 0.2*(Quiz %) + 0.2*(HW %) + 0.3*(Midterm %) + 0.3*(Final Exam %). Note that the midterm exam was worth 100 points, the final exam was worth 120 points. The final exam score shown in the spreadsheet is the number of points, not the percentage.
The average on the final was quite low. I had to lower the overall curve a bit. For some reason, there is a huge gap of 14 points in the overall grade distribution, so there is hardly any B range.
If you want to pick up your final exam, give me a call or send me an email to see when I'll be around.
I just found out that the Math 471 class I was supposed to teach has been canceled. I will be teaching Math 166 after all, at 11. Maybe I'll see some of you again next term.
Merry Christmas.

Calculus, 8th edition
ISBN 0-13-081137-8
Your grade will be determined by your scores on the departmental midterm (30%), departmental final (30%), homework assignments (20%) and end-of-chapter quizzes (20%).
There will be departmental exams on October 6 (90 minutes) and sometime during finals week (120 minutes). These exams have two parts. The first part consists of short, basic questions, and must be completed without a calculator. The second part has larger problems, and calculators are allowed. The midterm and final exams will be written and will be graded by hand.
In addition, there will be a homework assignment for every section, and a quiz at the end of every chapter (see schedule). Homework assignments and quizzes will be administered in MapleTA, which is an online testing programs. For the homeworks and quizzes, you only need to get 80% of the points to get full credit. That is because every one of you will lose some points because you did not type in the answer in just the right form that MapleTA wanted.
We have some of the problems from the textbook as online testbanks, and I will select some of those (problems from the sections for the homework, problems from the review sections for the quizzes).
