Additional information:
• The final grade is composed of the following components: Final exam, exercises, tirgul and
“additional” exercises weighted as follows: Exam (80-90%), Exercises (10%), “additional”
exercises (0-10% magen) Tirgul assignments (0-5 points bonus).
• Exercises: Must submit 80% for taking exam permission
For example: Uri did 80% hw with average grade 95. He also submitted 3 of 12 tirgul
assignments with average grade 80. And he also did the additional ex. (80%) with average
grade of 100.
His grade will be calculated by following:
Grade &eq; 0.82 * exam_grade + 0.1*95 + 3/12*0.8*5 + 0.08 * 100
