Grades from the tests

Everyone must log into sakai.rutgers.edu If you have a recitation section, there will be more information on that section in Sakai.

I will not curve each individual test. I will create a curve at the end of the course, once all the grades are recorded.

Curve:
90-100 = A -- this range is not curved
80% of the top grade = B
65% of the top grade = C
51% of the top grade = D
50 points or less = F -- this range is not curved

Example: The top grade in the class is 95. The only people who get As are those who score 90-95. But 80% of 95 is 76, so 76-89 is the B range. The top 2 grades in the range--88 & 89--are B+. The C range would be 62-75, because 65% of 95 is about 62.

There are 3 tests. They add up to 100.

Test 1: 35 questions, worth 35% of grade
Test 2: 35 questions, worth 35% of grade
Quiz 3: 30 questions, worth 30% of grade
