GRADE=__________
Grade Cutoffs from Syllabus:
| A 700-630 | B 629-560 | C 559-490 | D 489-420 | F 419- 0 |
Note: These are the cutoffs that guarantee you getting each letter grade. The cutoffs may be lowered at the end of the semester. Since this is the first time in 10 years that the lecture and lab have been separate courses, I do not have an idea of what will happen to the cutoffs. I like to lower them 1-2 exam questions to take care of students 1-2 questions from the next letter grade, but don't publicize the new cutoffs since a new set of students will be 1-2 exams questions from the next letter grade.
