For each individual student, we will compute two different weighted averages of homework and exam scores, using the weights indicated in the two columns below. The higher of the two will be used to determine the student's final grade.

| Midterm 2 | 27.5% | 20% |
| Homework | 15% | 15% |
| Final Exam | 30% | 45% |
