If you do better on the final exam than your worst midterm, I will shift the weight from that midterm to the final (in which case the final exam will have weight of 50%). Make-up midterms and quizzes will normally not be given. Although this is unlikely to happen, I reserve the right to change the timing of midterms and quizzes.
