1) Concerning Exam 3 in M261, the department has decided to extend the strategy sent out on Nov 15 as follows. The overall score for each student will be calculated based on the GREATEST of the following three grading strategies.

(A) (strategy from Nov 15) Exam 3 will not be counted as part of the overall score in M261.  The overall score for each student will be calculated based on
      Exam 1   150  points
      Exam 2   150 points
      Final       200 points

(B) (strategy from Nov 15) Exam 3 will not be counted as part of the overall score in M261. The overall score for each student will be calculated based on
      Exam 1   100  points
      Exam 2   100 points
      Final       300 points

(C)  Exam 3 will be counted as part of the overall score in M261 as announced in the beginning of the semester. There will be three different curves for the students who took the exam in the three different rooms. The curves are calculated in such a way that the curved average score in each of the three rooms is 70 (/100) points, and the overall score will be calculated based on
      Exam 1   100  points
      Exam 2   100 points
      Exam 3   100 points
      Final       200 points

2) Independently of whether strategies (A), (B) or (C) are used to determine an individual student's grade, the portions of the questions related to the 4 parts of the course will be distributed in the final exam as follows:

      Parts 1 and 2:      30%
      Parts 3 and 4:      70%
