How to use the data above:
Locate your subtotal points on your Exam 3
Locate your position with respect to the grade you really want
Calculate what you need on the final exam:
example - you have 220 points and want a B, not a C
you need 65% of the points on the final (130) PLUS 21 more to make
up your current deficit under the B borderline
if you get 151 on the final you will end up at the bottom of the
B range (i.e., a B-)
Note that extra credit points (up to 15 via e-mail) could be very
useful here
