• 4 May: To figure out what grade you need on the final to get a certain letter grade, you can use the following formula: .  In this formula, f is the final exam grade you need to get (on a scale of 1 to 100), t is your target score (if you are aiming for an A-, for example, then t = 89.5), a is your weighted average (on a scale of 1 to 100) and w is the current weight (from the viewgrades page -- probably an 80).  Note that you have to round f up, so if f is 89.1, that means you have to get a 90 on the final to reach your target score.
