The exam grades are currently posted up on Carmen. As always, everyone wants to know if the exam is "curved" or what the curve will be in the class. The grades are assigned by a distribution determined by the chemistry department and is out of 1,000 points at the end of the quarter. Up to this point, if we include Quiz #1, #2, and #3, the first exam, and lab #24, 25 I, II, III, and the TM lab there are currently 385.3 points out of 1,000.
In order to determine what your letter grade would be up to this point do the following:
Take your point values from Lab 24, 25 I, II, III, and the Transition Metal lab and add them together. This gives a max of 650. Take this value and divide it by 1350, then multiply it by 250. This gives your lab points up to this point (max. = 120.3)
Take the lab point value + exam #1 score + Quiz #1 score + Quiz #2 score + Quiz #3 score. This will give you your total points to this point. (The max should be 385.3)
Applying the grade distribution the general chemistry department uses gives the following:
354 points and up A
336 and up A-
318 and up B+
300 and up B
282 and up B-
263 and up C+
245 and up C
228 and up C-
210 and up D+
193 and up D
less than 193 will not earn a passing grade.
If you have any questions about this please let me know. Keep in mind that the final exam is worth 250 points and is the most vital component in determining your final letter grade.
