At the end of the semester, letter grades will be assigned to the point scores based on 90-100% = A, 80-90% = B, etc. However the cutoff points between grades may change to curve the results slightly. To select the cutoffs, we will look for groups of similar grades with relatively large gaps between the groups. Typically, the curve is very slight in this class.
