Q= Quiz R= Recitation A= Assignment P=Project

PEX = Prelim Exam MEX = Midterm Exam FEX = Final Exam CS= Class Standing

CA = Class Average PG = Prelim Grade MG = Midterm Grade FG = Final Grade

CS = (Q+R+A/P)/3 CA= [ (2*CS)+ MEX]/ 3 CA= [ (2*CS)+ FEX]/ 3

PG = [(2*CS)+ PEX)/3 MG = [(2*CA)+ PG)/3 FG = [(2*CA)+ MG)/3
