Grade Scales for Exams
MAC 3473, Section 3205 (7th period)
Honors Calculus 2
Fall 2009

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).
