Daily Exercises 1 - 12At midterms, all of the first 12 daily exercises were counted. For the final, only the best 16 will be counted.
Project 1
Exams 1 and 2
To determine how to weight these components at the time of midterms, I first calculated how much of the total grade is associated with the individual components so far.
12/16 = 3/4 of the daily exercises were graded and the DE is weighted at 20%; hence 15% of the total final grade is collected via exercises.In total, 41% of the course grade has been determined by midterm. With this figure, I was then able to give appropriate weights to the individual components.
1/6 of the projects were graded and the projects are weighted at 20%; hence 3% of the total final grade is collected via projects
2/3.5 of the exams are graded and the exams are weighted at 40%; hence 23% of the total final grade is collected via exams.
Daily exercises accounted for 35% of your midterm grade (0.35 is an approximation of 15/41 = 0.366).
Exams accounted for 55% of your midterm grade (0.55 is an approximation of 23/41 = 0.561)
Projects accounted for 10% of your midterm grade (0.10 is an approximation of 3/41 = 0.073)
