Grades

The conversion of your total numeric coursework score to a final grade will be based on interpreting the guidelines of the descriptors, letter grading system, and four-point scale as defined in section 23.4 of the University Calendar. That is, grades are assigned on what we judge to be "failure", "minimal pass", "poor", "satisfactory", "good", or "excellent" performance in the context of the class.

We do not use a particular distribution to do the conversion, but instead use our judgment of how your score reflects mastery of the course material. That said, you generally need to be above the median to score a 3.0 or B.
