20% for each exam or 20% total? And what makes up the rest?

DebetEsse - if I understood the question right, here, as an undergrad, most of my grade - if not all of it - is based on the midterm and final. 80%, at least.

What's a reasonable portion of the course grade to be determined by the midterm and final for a University course? Does 20% sound good?
I use to have the final count more than the midterm, because I figured the students should have learned something in the meantime. (I think it was something like: final = 20%, midterm = 15%, various papers = 5% each [usually one a week--I taught Freshman comp], a couple of pop quizes = 5% each, final journal = 5%) No one failed for having a lousy day, but no one could coast to an A without doing most of the work.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We're doing projects, rather than exams, so it's not a single day. There seems to be a culture in the department of a high weight put on participation and working with mentor teachers in local schools.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Next, I set up record-keeping.
Also, I'm on a committee at church. Well, a committee and a task-force.
I feel like such a grown-up.

I've found a lovely site for folks who like looking at antiques and vintage clothes, etc, 1stdibs.com. I found this lovely dress [link] and there are dozens of other dealers in clothes etc. Hours of browsing, drooling fun.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You rock, Profesoresa Debet!
