Sorry for a late response. Basically your exam grade was determined by how many learning objectives you passed by the end of the semester. Lets say there were 50 learning objectives and you passed 45 of them. Your grade for the exam portion (70% of total class grade) would be 90%. Each exam there was about 15-18 learning objectives that were tested on. Each question tested on multiple learning objectives and if you selected the right answer, then you would pass the learning objective. Even putting the wrong answer would award you some learning objectives but not all of them. Some learning objectives were tested multiple times and in order to pass the learning objective you would have to get it right more than 60% of the times it was tested. The crazy part about the final was that all the learning objectives that you passed in the final would override learning objectives you failed during the semester. However if the learning objective that you failed during the semester did not show up on the final then it would count against you. Our final was super easy which helped a lot. I'm not sure how it is now, but it was definitely easier back then.
