I THINK I figured it out.

Multiply each grade by it's weight %.. then add all those numbers and divide them by the possible % (ex: Final is worth 15% of my grade, so right now, that sum of those numbers is only out of 85).. and then see what you would need out of 100 to keep your grade.

Cool. I can make a 40% and still have my B. I'm happy.

Yea. Say you made an 85, 92 and 88 on exams. 40/50 30/50 on homeworks.

Finals worth 100 points. Total in the class is 500.
85+92+88+40+30 = 335

335/400 = 0.8375 x 100 = 83.75%

To keep your B you need to keep it over 80%.

So 500 x 0.80 = 400

400-335 = 65

65 is what you'd need to keep your B.

I'm really bored at work, as you can probably tell.

Perfect. Well, I can make like a 40% on the final ...

And even if I make a 100%, I won't go up a grade. So my stress has gone away.

Yea, that's how it usually works for me too.

I have no idea what I have going into my last final on Thursday because he's never given our labs back all semester. All I know I made is a 92 on the first exam and a 79 on the second. Class average on those were 75 and 61, so I'm not really worried.

The complete opposite actually. I thought the final was too easy which could be a good thing or a bad thing.

Same here.
I am just hoping that I did well enough that the 7 extra credit points we can get will help me.

I had that one that was posted online, but half the answers were wrong on it.
I just got shite confused and put the exact opposite on at least 4 questions.
