Textbook

York, 1991.
Marking Scheme
- 40% assignments.
- 15% midterm examination.
- 45% final examination.
Students must have a passing average on the combined examinations and on
the assignments to pass the course. Here is my algorithm for calculating
marks.
- mark1 = 0.40 * assignments + 0.15 * midterm + 0.45 * final
- mark2 = 0.25 * midterm + 0.75 * final
- if ( mark2 < 50% ) then you get mark2; otherwise you get mark1.
