Final Exams at 25% of 345 = 86.25 receive an automatic F per Syllabus(Handout 1). If letter grade is assigned here it is final; for all other cases it will involve RULE 2 and ADJUSTMENTS 1-3. RULE 2. Students are then groupped 'curve like' per half of standard deviation (usually 70-100pts). Final Letter grades are decided for the remaining non-RULE 1 students. ADJUSTMENT-1 RULE-2 students with (< 500 pts) but with points at least 50% of top student's points and a Final at MORE than 50% of top Final Exam grade also get a C even if they have < 500 pts. ADJUSTMENT-2 Otherwise, RULE-2 students in range 400-499 are assigned a D grade and 0-399 students are assigned an F grade. ADJUSTMENT-3 Students at more than 500 points are assigned letter grades accordingly per RULE 2. A violation (or violations) of the Collaboration policy of the course adjust the final letter grade appropriately. Definitions Definitions =========== =========== N = number of students taking the exam Interval = 0 to maxpoints possible for exam (as in Handout 1) Average = Sum of grades in exam divided by N Stand Deviation = Shows dispersion of grades. If ave is '37' and std is '12' this means that roughly 2/3 of the grades are within 37 +/- 12 , and 95% within 37 +/- 2*12. Median = Half of the students got that much or less (and half, more than that).
