The midterm has been graded!
Most people did well – the mean was just over 80, and the median was just above 83.
We are not providing an exact mapping to letter grades: we are not going to pick specific cutoffs. Roughly, above 90 for an A, in the 80s for an AB, 70s for a C, but if you’re a point or two either way, it could be pushed for you. (if you did well on the assignments and homeworks, we’re more likely to push you higher, etc). Final grading will be done by looking at the complete picture of your grades.
That said, if you scored below 70 on the exam you probably should be concerned about your level of mastery of the material.

We will allow you to get your exam after class on Tuesday. However, we require you to return your exam before class on Thursday (we need to keep them). If you find a grading error, send an email to the course staff address. Note: if you ask for you exam to be re-graded, we will check the entire exam.
