Grades, Finals and Studying

Your grade going in to the final has been posted.  If you have an 89.5% or higher, congratualtions, you do not have to take the final exam!!!  Remember, you need at least a 63% to pass the class.

Study tips:

*Use the notetaking guides as a study guide
*Re-read the chapters.  The final is on chapters 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 and 13
*Review the past quizzes.  We have posted the old quizzes with the answers.  Almost all of the final exam questions come from the past tests.

If you want to find out what you need to get on the final to get a certain grade, check out this website.  Trent Marlow showed it to me.  The final exam is worth 15% of your grade.  I round up at .5.  For example, an 89.5% is an A-, a 79.5% is a B-.
