In determining your course letter grade, I modified in your favor the originally announced grading method in the following two ways.

The purpose of the first way is to give extra weight to your Final Exam score if you did substantially better ion it than on the mid-semester exams; but not to penalize you unduly if your Final Exam score was substantially lower than your mid-semester exams. (Here "mid-semester exams" means the average of the two best of your three mid-semester exam scores, and "problem sets" means the average of the best 7 of your 9 problem set scores.)

1. Your overall course score is the highest of the following three numbers:

Standard method (as originally announced):

If Final Exam low method:

If Final Exam high method:

2. The grading scale is changed to:

(The only change is that the cut-off scores for C and C- were lowered to 62 and 58, respectively, from 65 and 60).
