Grading Scale for Math 111

This is only a very rough estimate of how I suspect percentages will align with grade points at the end of the term. The final grade scale will be NOT match this scale exactly. The official final gradescale will be adjusted so that the grade distribution for the class satisfies departmental and university grade guidelines.

The university guidelines for lower division undergraduate courses can be seen here: Sample University Grading Guidelines

The median for this class is typically around 2.9. This means that if you are at the median in the class, meaning your course percentage is exactly in the middle of the class compared to your classmates (i.e. you have the 60th best course percentage out of 120), then you will get a grade of 2.9.

A grade of 2.0 is required to move from Math 111 to Math 112. I typically tell students that you need to average above 75% on exams to ensure that you will get the necessary 2.0 to move on.
Anyone that has a course percentage below 50% at the end of the term gets a score of 0.0.

Information on how your final course percentage is computed can be found on the syllabus.
