Explanation:

The final exam is non-comprehensive and is weighted equally with the other exams. For example, if at the end of the semester there are four exams, all four-exam grades will be totaled and then divided by 4 to obtain an overall course grade for each student. There may be "pop quizzes" given periodically which may cause an adjustment in the student's final grade depending on the student's performance on such quizzes. The course grade is based on the following scale:

90-100= A

80-89= B

70-79= C

60-69= D

59 and less= F
