TO ESTIMATE YOUR MAX POSSIBLE SCORE. PRETEND YOU GET A 90% ON THE
FINAL (for example). THE FINAL IS WEIGHTED AT 20% OF YOUR TOTAL
GRADE. So, take 0.9*20=18. Simply add this to your current total-
this is your maximum possible score in the class.

EXAM 4 NEWS. Reading assignment pages and review
outline are now updated.
*** Review page is here ***
Apr 14:
OVERALL GRADES NOW AVAILABLE. The file is big and
cumbersome to navigate, but you can find all of your scores to date.
The last four columns summarize your exams, labs, and attendance.
Exams are 45%, Labs are 25%, and Attendance is 10% of the total grade.
Since the Final is not yet included, which is worth 20%, only 80% of
your total grade is shown. Still the last column gives the toal
percentage that you have out of the points available to date. NOTE:
your dropped exam is identified, but it it NOT yet dropped from the
calculation.
