5% Offer + the Grade Estimator

As mentioned in class, you have the option of reducing the weighting on one of your pre-final non-demo assessments (so that means midterm, quizzes, assignments, lab exams, or journal) by 5% and transferring that 5% to your final exam. So, for example, you could do away with your first quiz altogether and have your final weighted at 35%; or you could reduce your midterm weighting to 5% and have your final weighted at 35%.

If you wish to take advantage of this offer, you must email by noon on December 7th, stating in the email which assessment you're reducing. There is no exception to this deadline.

If you want to see how this might effect your marks, use the Grade Estimator - but follow this procedure:

1. Open up the Grade Estimator (it's in the Course Docs section)
2. Enter in your marks on the MAIN worksheet as per usual
3. In the "Reduce by 5%?" column, enter in a "y" for the assessment you want to reduce the weighting on - keep this as "n" otherwise.
