Q: A student earns the following grades in the course: Discussion Board: 90%, Chapter Homework: 80%, Chapter Assignment: 85%, Edpuzzles: 95%, Quizzes: 75%, HOL Labs: 100%, Final Exam: 70%. Using the weighted grading criteria, what is the student's final percentage grade? (Show your calculation using LaTeX formatting.)

The final grade is $$0.05 \times 90 + 0.15 \times 80 + 0.10 \times 85 + 0.15 \times 95 + 0.20 \times 75 + 0.20 \times 100 + 0.15 \times 70 = 85.25\%.$$

Q: A student submits a lab assignment 3 days late. According to the late work policy, what percentage of the original grade will the student receive if the assignment was graded as 90% before the penalty?

The student will receive $$90\% - (3 \times 20\%) = 30\%.$$
