Midterm Grades

• Midterm Exam (70%)
• PS1-6 plus MiniPS1 (30%)

The distribution of these scores was as follows (N=36):

9: 9843211
8: 9776110
7: 887644433310
6: 31000
5: 864
4: 51

(HIGH, MEDIAN, LOW) = (99, 75, 41)

A (90-9A):  7 / 19%  ( 7 /  19%)
B (80-89):  7 / 19%  (14 /  39%)
C (70-79): 12 / 33%  (26 /  72%)
D (59-69):  5 / 14%  (31 /  86%)
F (00-59):  5 / 14%  (36 / 100%)
 
GPA = (7*4+7*3+12*2+5)/36 = 2.2

Thus, almost one fifth of the class is doing A work; about 40% are doing A or B work, and almost three quarters are C or higher.

Notes:

• Many students are just above or below a grade cut-off. Therefore, your numerical score (available via Blackboard) will give you a better idea of where you stand than the letter grade you receive at midterm.
• 491 students are listed in the above with respect to their undergraduate protion only (for better comparison); they do not receive midterm grades and should compute their overall performance via the information sheet and their scores in Blackboard.
