I have decided to make the final exam optional for everyone; HOWEVER, you will not be allowed to keep the 27.5 curve on the second exam. If you wish to avoid taking the final, you must use a curve of 18 points; and, your grade if you skip the final will be computed as follows: Final grade = (2/7)(Exam1 + Exam2 + 18) + (3/7)(Homework grade). So, if you got a 60 on the first exam, and 65 on the second (pre-curve), and a grade of 90 on the HW, the grade you would get if you didn't take the final is (2/7)(60 + 65 + 18) + (3/7)(90) = 79.429, which is a C. Of course, if you DO take the final, then you get to use the curve of 27.5 points.


*** Your final exam is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 10 from 11:30 - 2:20 ***


I came across an interesting article by the CS titan Edsger Dykstra, which you can view here .
