Week 18--5 days to Final Exams

Hello All!

Remember, at this point, since we've taken the Unit Test today there are only 2 ways for you to bring up your grade.
  1. Vocabulary Remediation.  If you would like to bring up your Writing and Language Summative average, you may replace ONE vocabulary quiz grade by doing this assignment.  You must follow all of the directions carefully as if you don't, you won't earn credit.  This is an opportunity, and not mandatory.  The deadline of Wednesday, May 15th at midnight is a hard deadline.  There will be no late credit.
  2. Final Exam Study Guide.  Your final exam for this semester is cummulative for this semester.  You need to be prepared to deal with any of the concepts, elements, devices, and types on that list.  You can do it!

If you'd like to calculate what you need on the final exam in order to get the grade you want/need in the class, you can use the formula below:

X(0.85)+E(0.15)=G

X is your current grade in the class going into the final.
E is the grade you earn on your Final Exam
G is your final grade in the class.

I'd recommend that you input your current grade (X), then plug in the grade that you'd like to have in the class (G, for example, 70).  Then solve for E to see what grade you need to make on the Final Exam just to pass. 

For example, if your current grade is a 73, you need a 54 on the final to just pass, but you'd need a 80 in order to earn a C (74) in the class.
