Important Notice:

The weighted average of the midterm and final must at least be 35 for the student to pass the course (to get any grade better than F).

 

Weighted average: (20xMTgrade+30xFinalgrade)/50

 

Any student who scores better than 70% at the attendance gets the full attendance grade. For the others the 5% is linearly graded accordingly.
