RULE 1.
The dicussion below applied under the providision that there 
is no violation of the Collaboration policy of the Syllabus.
Dept grade policy guidelines are also applied.

Students are groupped 'curve like' per about half of standard 
deviation (usually 70-90pts but the top group is wider because 
of the 850pt threshold, see below and the Syllabus).  
Final Letter grades are decided for six groups
(A, B+,B,C+,C,F) under the provision that  students 500 points 
or higher can NEVER get an F, as long as there is no violation
of the Collaboration policy of the Syllabus, 
students over 850 get an A, and the course average maps to 
around the bottom of the B group 
(as opposed to the stricter curving method that maps it to
the top C+ area).


ADJUSTMENT-1
Students with  
  i. < 500 pts  AND
 ii. # points >= 50% of top student's points, AND
iii. final >= around 50% of top Final exam grade 
also get a C even if they have < 500 pts.

ADJUSTMENT-2
  A violation (or violations) of the Collaboration policy 
of the Syllabus adjusts grades lower.  
Dean of Students office messages adjusts grade lower as well.

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).
