Grades are loaded on OWL and SPIRE.
There were alot of good grades! I went as low as 68.5% to give “C”, in order to be sure than anybody on that C/C- boundary got the benefit of the doubt.
Grading scale:
score n grade
>540 48 16% A
>530 11 4% A-
>519 18 6% B+
>479 46 15% B
>474 8 3% B-
>470 10 3% C+
>411 80 27% C
>396 17 6% C-
>336 31 10% D
38 13% F
Points came from:
1) exams + blog (70% of points): 420 points (100 per MT, 120 for final; up to 5 extra points added for blog participation).
The lowest MT was replaced by a better final (on a percentage basis!) as shown by the extra column of numbers in the OWL Gradebook.
2) Lab (17% of points) 100 points
3) OWL (10% of points) 60 points.
4) PRS (3% of points) 20 points.

Letter grades have been placed on SPIRE
Letter grade regions will be pretty close to traditional percentages, but this is key: you need a passinge exam average to pass the class. I accepted an exam average as passing if it were greater than 54%.
