Final Exam 2020
Final Letter Grade Distribution:
Everyone who got 48% or more of the total possible points passed the class. And everyone who passed got at least a C-. There was a big gap between that and all the failing grades. The highest failing grade was 41%. Everyone who received a failing grade showed the characteristic of having written few blog posts, and most who received a failing grade wrote none. It took an overall score above 55% to get a C or above rather than a C-.
Here are minimum overall scores for each grade. I know it was a tough course with low numerical scores. There was a lot there to learn! But as I promised, the low numerical scores all washed out with the curve that is your friend:
Passing (C- or above): >48%
C or above: >55%
C+ or above: >63%
B- or above: >69.5%
B or above: >71%
B+ or above: >74.5%
A- or above: >78.5%
A: >82.75%
High overall score: 88%
