Grading Scale

NOTE: I try to grade on a straight scale, as listed below. I will only "curve" the grades if the median is too low. I expect the median to be between 2.9 and 3.1.

97% and above                                 4.0
95-96%                                 3.9 % of pts earned  Corresponding grade
