PS
As to Margaret's comparison to Australia with the US, it would be my guess
that in the US there is more continuous monitoring of student's progress.exams
So at my institution the evaluations are given the week before final
and my students know very well what sort of grade they are likely toreceive
for the course, I drop the lowest exam score for my students which mightbe
half the final exam if that was their lowest score; this means my final is
either 30% or 15% of the course grade.I think that Joel is right. Our final exam is likely to be at least 50%
