Physics 110B - Fall 2024 - Final Scoring


These are the distributions of scores on the homework, midterm, final, and the total.  (Reminder: total=15% homework, 35% midterm, 50% final).



Then, based on the "total" score, I assigned letters grades "roughly" as follows:
  • > 90 A+
  • > 76 A
  • > 72 A-
  • > 68 B+
  • > 63 B
  • > 60 B-
  • > 58 C+
  • > 55 C
  • > 45 C-
  • > 40 D+
  • > 35 D
I say roughly because I bumped up letter grades of several students as follows:
  • if the combined score was very close to a boundary, e.g, 75.9
  • if the performance on the final was significantly better than on the midterm
  • if the combined score was hurt by a "poor" homework score
These were all judgement calls that go in favor of the students, please do not try to argue your case.
