How do I calculate my grade?

You will receive a total of 5 tests during the semester.  One of these exams, EXCLUDING THE FINAL, is dropped. The test score you get on the remaining 3 exams, plus the final will be divided by 4 to give you your class score.

Example:      

Test 1 = 90, Test 2 = 90, Test 3 = 88, Test 4 = 90, Test 5 = 90
                        Attendance = signed the sheet 4 times
                        (2 points each time, for a total of 8 points)

Drop the lowest test grade (in this case, test 3)

Add the three tests and the final (in this case, sum = 360)
Add the attendance points (in this case, 360 + 6 = 368)
Divide by 4 (368/4 = 92.0)
92.0 is your average, so you get an A in the class (congratulations)
