NOTE: In reporting the averages from the tests we drop the lowest scores. This is because eventually 1/3rd (or 33.3%) of all test scores will be dropped. In comparing your average with the class average you need to compare with an average which is representative of the final average. Dropping the lowest scores before reporting the average is one way of ESTIMATING the effect of the final drops. These posted test averages are not used in any way in computing the final overall class average.

Final Exam scores FINAL AVERAGE 18 students took 5 of the 6 NUM tests, plus the final exam, and had an LC score of above 7.0.

Here is that final grade scale. below 30.0 E 30.1 - 40.0 D 40.1 - 60.0 C (above 50.0 is C+) 60.1 - 75.0 B (no B's this year) above 75.0 A (below 79.9 is A-, above 89.9 is A+) Letter grades were assigned strictly according to this scale. The highest E is 28.2; the lowest D is 33.4, the highest D is 35.4; the lowest C is 41.1, the highest C is 56.0; there are no B's this semester; the lowest A is 75.6. The smallest gap between levels is 5.2 points between E to D. You may also like to look at the Spring 2023 Class Averages.
