Fianl Specifications
The optional final will be given Monday at 8 AM to 10 AM in 513 Rhodes. It will cover material on the quizzes and all the labs including the C-Mold Lab. If you weren't at the C-mold lab you can download a version from cmold.com which will run on Windows or Win NT (not mac). The final will have 3 questions in the same format as the quizzes. All three questions pertain to the labs but bring up topics covered in the quizzes.
If you take the final it will be counted as 3 quizzes. The grades are calculated by 80% quiz grades and 20% lab grades. We had 6 quizzes so if you take the final, the final will average in 26.7% of the final grade. The final can only help your grade. This reminds me of the poker game midnight baseball, high-low. (There are many ways to win, but I always loose.)
If you have come to this message you probably need the final or need the final or some more labs to boost your achievements one grade notch. I am going to strictly stick to the grade definitions, A is above 90, B is above 80 and given only full grades so I think you have a full grade to gain by doing a bit more at this point.
If you haven't done the evaluation (one person) please do this.
