The quizzes' and final's maximum scores are: 145, 140, 140, 120, 100, 300 respectively. Grades have been calculated by:
i) Scaling the scores of all five quizzes so that each quizz has the same maximum score, chosen to be equal to the maximum score of the final (300),
ii) Summing the three quizzes with the highest score (call that Q),
iii) Scaling the final by a factor 3 * (60% / 40%) = 4.5 (call that F),
iv) Summing the Q and F to get the total score T = Q + F,
v) Set boundaries for letter grades (50-60: C+, 60-70: B-, 70-80: B, 80-85: B+, 85-90: A-, 90-95: A, 95-100: A+) (I looked at all 25 finals for setting these boundaries),
vi) Assign extra credit for Problem #2 and #11 of the Final by pushing a score up across a letter grade boundary if the score is just below such a boundary.
