Weighting and Curving Grades

Weighting

Each test, including final: 25%

Curving

Here is the approximate grade distribution you can expect. The exact distribution will depend on the grade curve.

The percentages below are generally based on the student body remaining at the end of the semester, assuming the number of drops does not exceed the department average. If it does, then the distribution may lean a bit more towards the top.
The top 40% of students will at least get an A or A-
The next 20% will atleast get a B+ or B.
The next 15% will atleast get a B- or a C
