How Dr. Bean Grades?
Count the TOP 2 Midterms (60%) and the Final Exam (40%).
Curve (Approximately Post Exam 2)*
A- ~ 85%
B- ~ 75%
C- ~ 55%
D- ~ 45%
How to calculate your final grade:
(0.6)*(Average of the TOP 2 Midterm Score) + (0.4)*(Final Exam Score) = Final Grade
OR
(0.3)*(Best Midterm Score) + (0.3)*(2nd Best Midterm Score) + (0.4)*(Final Exam Score ) = Final Grade
Founder's Prediction* (ONLY PROJECTION OF FINAL GRADE, NOT OFFICIAL)
* Final Exam Curve will be official by Dr. Bean herself depending by the magnitude of class performance
