 Computation of Final Course Average Score (FCAS)
DEPARTMENT OF
STATISTICS

FCAS = E (20%) + Q (20%) + FTE (20%) + STE (20%) + FE (20%)

Where
FCAS = Final course average score
E = Exercises score
Q = Quizzes score
FTE = First term exam score
STE = Second term exam score
FE = Final exam score
The final grades will correspond to the following weighted average scores:
FCAS Grade FCAS Grade FCAS Grade
94.45 – 100.00 1.00 72.23 – 77.78 2.00 50.00 – 55.56 3.00
88.90 – 94.44 1.25 66.68 – 72.22 2.25 Below 50% 5.00
83.34 – 88.89 1.50 61.12 – 66.67 2.50
77.79 – 83.33 1.75 55.57 – 61.11 2.75
