The highest score is 16 in both the midterm and the final; therefore, the maximum overall grade is 32 (if greater than 30, it will be considered as 30 with honors).


Students may choose not to take the final exam in the above mentioned form (midterm and final), but rather a comprehensive exam at the end of the course.
