The total possiblepoint score will come from the following items: (i) 7 quizzes (drop lowestone), worth 20 points each, (ii) 4 Tests, worth 70 points each, and (iii) 1uniform final exam, worth 200 points. Thus, 6 * 20 + 4 * 70 + 200 = 600. Everystudent in this class will receive a grade point average at least as high as hisRGPA ("raw grade point average"). To determine your RGPA, compute the percentageof points you earned (by dividing your total point score by 6), and use thefollowing scale:90-100=4.085-89=3.5 80-84=3.0 75-79=2.570-74=2.0 65-69=1.5 60-64=1.0 00-59=0.0No make-ups for the quizzes.
