One of the best course structures I ever had was my Circuits Theory course. There were three total exams where the first two covered different material, and the third covered everything. On the third, we were able to 'correct' our score one of the first two exams if we did we better on the portions of third exam that covered the material. And the best part is that if you did worse on the third exam over the past material. It wouldn't retroactively degrade your score.

It went something like:

1st Exam: Subject A 2nd Exam: Subject B 3rd/Final: Subject A/B/C

I always wished this was the structure for every course. It allowed for those who didnt do well to stay in the course and encouraged them to understand the way the proffesor assigns work too!
