Mark Breakdown

Marks
Final: 40.00%
Tests: Four at 15% each -- you must take at least 3 quizes to pass the course.

The mark weight on any quiz that has a lower mark than that of the final will be automatically transferred to the final.

For example if you get 75% on the final and 0%, 65%, 85%, 85%  on the three quizes, I will calculate your mark as

75%*(0.40+0.30) + 85%*0.30
