A very interesting grading system

Just came back from a Cal vs Michigan State football (American) game. Really great experience. Cheered all the time. Partially lost my voice.

A look at my Physics 7A grading system:

20% 1st Midterm
20% 2nd Midterm
40% Final Exam
15% Homework
5% Laboratories, discussions, quizzes

Math 53:

20% Homework + Quizzes
20% 1st Midterm
20% 2nd Midterm
40% Final

EE20N (Electrical Engineering course):

10% Homework
10% Labs
10% Quizzes
20% Exam 1
20% Exam 2
20% Exam 3
0% Final (haha)

CS61A (Computer Science- darn so far I don’t understand much of what the Professor is talking about in the previous lecture)

3 x 40  = 120 3 Midterms
70 Final
15 x 2 = 30 15 Homeworks
15, 15, 25, 25 = 80, 4 Projects

A+ 283 - 300
A 276 - 282
A- 269 - 275
B+ 253 - 268
B 237 - 252
etc.

The really interesting one that I want to show you people is this:

Physics 7B

This professor (Andrew Charman) wrote out a 24 page course introduction for all of us. (!!!!)

Let’s take a peek inside the 24-page notes:

    @_@ Your Physics 7B is… scary. Do you understand how it works? Hahaha I sure hope mine is less complicated. =p

    You seem to be having a terrific time in Berkeley though. We should meet up… at least during the Big Game!! =p

    Haha, sounds like the weighting of the marks for 7B will depend on how you do during the exams, shifting to help you with the grade?
