Grade Scales for Exams
MAP 2302, Section 3146 (5th period)
Elementary Differential Equations
Spring 2010

The cutoffs given below are the bottom for the "flat" grade, not for the minus grade. The A- cutoff is 3/10 of the way down from the A cutoff to the B cutoff; the B+ cutoff is 3/10 of the way up from the B cutoff to the A cutoff. The other plus and minus grades work similarly, except that I do not give D-'s (anything lower than the D cutoff is an E).
