I can't give a final "grade" without that homework. I hope to have scores on that by Monday. When HW6 is included, the grade you'll get if you don't take the final will be based on 90/80/70/60 cutoffs (overridden if less than 50% on homework or tests). So your overall could drop some if your HW6 is less than the dropped "score". Or it could increase a bit if your HW6 score is higher than the previously dropped score.
After the final exam, I will likely look for "gaps", but it will be very close to 90/80/70 ...
If you're unsure, I'd suggest planning to take the final. It won't lower your grade. If you want to talk about your situation, stop by my office Monday between 10 and 4:30.
An updated Homework #6 is posted below and was handed out Tuesday 11/13.
Schedule for the remainder of the semester:
| Date | Topic/activity |
|---|---|
| 11/15 | Last lecture, parts of Chapters 11 and 12 |
| 11/27 | HW 6 due; Review for exam; Assessment exam |
| 11/29 | Test 3 |
| 12/5, noon | Optional Final Exam |
Note that the Assessment exam is a new standard departmental exam. It has 30 multiple choice questions. Your percentage score will be used to replace your lowest homework score. I won't replace your HW6 score though, unless you turn HW6 in.
The final exam is comprehensive. It is optional and can be used to replace your lowest test score.
