How to use this information:
1) Locate your current class standing by adding up your two exam scores
plus all quiz scores.
2) Locate the score needed for the grade you really want to get .
3) Let's assume 2) is higher than 1)
The difference in points represents the approximate amount you need to catch
up.
4) For example, if you have 180 points, and you are aiming for an A, you
need to do A work on the remainder of the exams, specifically catching up
about 20 points above the minimum A scores on the remaining exams.
(If you have 180 points and are aiming for a B, you must avoid losing 20
points under the minimum B scores.)
5) We have one exam, a final, and three quizzes left, worth 330 points.
We're not even halfway through the course, pointwise - so there is plenty
of room to catch up. Furthermore, scores that are improving make it easier
to give the benefit of the doubt in borderline cases.
6) Go for it - and ask for help when you need it.
