So, how does all this add up to a final course grade?

Average score on the quizzes, assignments, and exercises equals 23% of your course grade.
     *Before calculating this average score, your lowest score on the
         quizzes/assignments/exercises will be dropped

Exams 1-3 each equal 23% of your course grade.

Your Final Exam score replaces your lowest previous exam score or your quiz/assignment/exercise average (whichever is lower).
     *If your Final Exam score is lowest of all, then it will be dropped.

Your Career Development score equals 8% of your course grade.

Overall course average required for each grade:
                            91.5 = A,     90.0 = A-
        87.0 = B+,     83.0 = B,     80.0 = B-
        77.0 = C+,     73.0 = C,     70.0 = C-
        67.0 = D+,     63.0 = D,     60.0 = D-

Because of the opportunity to drop your lowest scores, there will be no make-up exams, quizzes, or exercises.  Also, assignments will not be accepted late (unless announced otherwise in class).  As a result, if you miss an exam (and receive a score of zero), your final exam will replace that zero.  If you complete everything, but simply have a bad day somewhere along the way, the final exam will be your opportunity to replace your lowest score.
