They are however indicative of the rules that will be used. ------------------------------------------------------------ RULE 1. Final Exams at 25% of 333 = 83.25 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 70pts). Final Letter grades are decided for the remaining non-RULE 1 students. ADJUSTMENT-1 RULE-2 students below 500 are added excess points to determine if they can be assigned a C. ADJUSTMENT-2 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-3 Students at more than 500 points use excess points provided Final Exam grade is around the level of the Exam 3 grade of students in the upper group. 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 exam grades divided by N Stand Deviation = Shows dispersion of grades. Roughly, 2/3 of the grades are within 37 +/- 12 , and 95% within 37 +/- 2*12 if ave is 37 and std 12 Median = Half of the students got that much or less (and half, more than that).
