Marking Scheme
The total course mark is calculated from the marks obtained on the Labs (L), the Quizzes (Q), the Midterm Exam (M) and the Final Exam (F).
There are 6 marked labs.
There are 4 quizzes worth 5% each, for a total of 20%.
The midterm exam is worth 20%, and the final exam is worth 45%. If the mark obtained on the final exam exceeds that obtained on the midterm, then the final exam will count for 65% towards the total mark, and the midterm mark will be discarded.
