PHIL 102 Introductory LogicCraig FoxFINAL EXAM: PREVIEW AND REVIEWI. PREVIEWFinal exam: Friday, 7/22, 1:00-3:00, BSB 365In an effort to give everyone the best possible chance to obtain the grade they wish, I have come up with the following procedure for the final exam. According to your syllabus, the final is to be weighted 30% of your overall grade. This is still true—unless your grade on the finalis better than your overall grade. If this is the case, then I will take the grade on your final to be your overall grade. In other words, your final exam will count for either 30% or 100% of your overall grade, whichever is higher. An example: You get a B on the final. Your average for the class comes out to a C when I weigh the final as 30%. Your grade is then a B, as this is higher. Another example: She gets a D on the final. Her average, when I weigh the final as 30%, is a B. Her final grade is a B. In other words, this procedure won’t hurt you—but it might help you.The exam will be the same length as your other exams, and you will have the full 2 hoursin which to complete it. It will be cumulative, with at least one problem pertaining to Units 10 - 14.II.
