Math 220, Fall 2008, K. Whittlesey

Grade breakdown for Midterm 3, out of 50 points: A > 43 > B > 34 > C > 25 > D > 19 > F solutions

To compute your approximate total grade so far: add up the three midterms, and use the chart below. If your mathzone score is low (below 80 percent) or your quiz/homework scores is low (below 60 percent), then lower your grade by one notch.

Grade breakdown for sum of three midterms, out of 150 points:
140-150 A+
135-140 A
131-135 A-
122-131 B+
113-122 B
104-113 B-
95-104 C+
86-95 C
77-86 C-
72-77 D+
67-72 D

0-62 F

Final exam:
For 10am class (BL1): 8-11am Dec 19th
For 11am class (DL1): 8-11am Dec 18th
For my final exam conflict policy, see the official university criteria given in the student code.
You must pass the final exam to pass the course. Checklist for Exam 2
which room should I go to for Midterm 2? Grade breakdown for Midterm 2, out of 50 points:
A > 45 > B > 36 > C > 27 > D > 23 > F
Over 2/3 of the class made at least 18/24 on the derivative problems, and about 1/5 of the class made a perfect 24/24! Good work!
Note: Compass says the top score is 53, but that's so that we could record the extra credit; the actual "top score" is a 50. Grade breakdown for Midterm 1, out of 50 points: A > 43 > B > 34 > C > 25 > D > 20 > F
If you have a 43, you are right at the A-/B+ border, a 34 is right at the B-/C+ border, and so on.
See the course policies page below for instructions on how to get a problem regraded.
If you have less than a 25, then you should go over the exam with a TA or talk to the advisors in 313 Altgled. -->
