Here is the final histogram. In the histogram, solid
lines indicate the major separations (for example,
C+/B-). Dotted lines indicate the minor separations
(for example B-/B).
The final overall class average is 61.5.
Many thanks for working hard this semester. GBA

Here is a histogram of the scores of still-active
students who have nonzero TP grades and total HW
points of 1300 or more in my online gradebook. The
red lines indicate an ESTIMATE of the approximate
locations of the E-D, D-C, C-B, and A-B cutoffs for
this semester.
Here are the overall averages for these students
after Test 3; at this point in the semester, the
lowest quiz score and the lowest test scores are
being half-weighted when calculating the averages:
Test average: 7.304/15
Exercise average: 9.338/10
Quiz average: 17.272/25
TP average: 4.526/5
HW average: 2559.4/2970.0
The overall class average at this time is 59.49/100
DISCLAIMER
The average letter-grade cutoffs shown here are only
an estimate of the final letter-grade cutoffs. The
final selection of cutoffs takes into consideration
the final class average and is generally primarily
determined by the location of large gaps in the final
distribution of overall averages. The final cutoffs
may be EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER than those shown here.
Also, the plus-minus system will be used in the final
cutoffs, but I will not estimate the location of those
plus-minus cutoffs.

Here is a histogram of the scores of still-active
students who have nonzero TP grades and total HW
points of 1090 or more in my online gradebook. The
red lines indicate an ESTIMATE of the approximate
locations of the E-D, D-C, C-B, and A-B cutoffs for
this semester.
Here are the overall averages for these students
before Test 3; at this point in the semester, the
lowest quiz score and the lowest test scores are
being half-weighted when calculating the averages:
Test average: 7.739/15
Exercise average: 9.341/10
Quiz average: 17.124/25
TP average: 4.471/5
HW average: 2247.6/2491.0
The overall class average at this time is 62.00/100

Here is a histogram of the scores of still-active
students who have nonzero TP grades and more than
930 WebAssign points. The red lines indicate an
ESTIMATE of the approximate locations of the E-D,
D-C, C-B, and A-B cutoffs for this semester.
Here are the overall averages for these students
after Test 2; at this point in the semester, the
lowest quiz score and the lowest test scores are
being half-weighted when calculating the averages:
Test average: 7.714/15
Exercise average: 9.339/10
Quiz average: 17.010/25
TP average: 4.498/5
HW average: 1876.5/2126.0
The overall class average at this time is 61.60/100
DISCLAIMER
The average letter-grade cutoffs shown here are still
a rough estimate of the final letter-grade cutoffs.
The final selection of cutoffs takes into consideration
the final class average and is generally primarily
determined by the location of large gaps in the final
distribution of overall averages. The final cutoffs
may be EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER than those shown here,
however, at this time I would expect that they are
unlikely to be higher. Also, the plus-minus system
will be used in the final cutoffs, but I will not
estimate the location of those plus-minus cutoffs.

Here is a histogram of the scores of still-active
students who have nonzero TP grades and WebA grades
of more than 426 in my online gradebook. I will
not estimate final letter grade cutoffs until after
Test 2, at which time another histogram will be
posted.
Here are the overall averages for these students
after Test 1; no drops have been included at this
point in the semester:
Test average: 7.296/15
Exercise average: 8.703/10
Quiz average: 15.204/25
TP average: 4.517/5
HW average: 865.9/959.0
The overall class average at this time is 59.21/100
