You can view your marks here.
On each unit (assignment, test or exam) you are provided with a ranking raw mark score (RRMS). Also, you will be provided with a mapping from your RRMS to a letter grade. The raw mark is merely used to rank you in the class (so, e.g. a 76 might be a C, not a B+ after the mapping is applied). The mapping will be supplied to you at the same time that your assignment (and RRMS) is handed back to you. The final grade is computed from the RRMS and maps as shown here here.
If you are not able to write the test due to a serious medical emergency, then you must ask your physician to fill out the form (available from the departmental office). In this case, the final exam will count as 60% of your final grade (45% + 15%).
