Grade Scales for Exams
MAP 2302, Section 4219 (26581)
Honors Elementary Differential Equations
Spring 2023

The exam-grade cutoffs given below are the bottom for the "flat" grade, not the minus-grade. (For example, if the cutoff listed for a B is 50 points, then 50 is a B; 49 is a B-.) The A- cutoff is 1/3 of the way down from the A cutoff to the B cutoff; the B+ cutoff is 1/3 of the way up from the B cutoff to the A cutoff; the B- cutoff is 1/3 of the way down from the B cutoff to the C cutoff, etc. (except that I do not give D-'s; anything lower than the D cutoff is an E).

A cutoff like "90.5" in a grade-scale does not mean that any half-points were given to any student on the corresponding exam; it simply means that I thought 91 was too high for the cutoff and 90 was too low.
