I like to know how I need to perform in order to make my A. So, curves aside, here's the math:
Requirement | Possible | Actual |
Problem Sets | 15 | 14.3 |
Exam 1 | 20 | 19.8 |
Exam 2 | 20 | 20 |
Policy Paper | 15 | 15 |
Final Exam | 30 | ? |
Total | 100 | 69.1 |
Since time immemorial, UT has awarded only whole-letter grades for classes (A, B, C, D, and F). But starting this semester they're adding + and - into the mix, albeit with no A+ possible, so the bar for an A just rose from 90 to 93. Bummer.
Therefore for an uncurved A I need 93 points total, or an additional 23.9 points out of a possible 30, which means a 80 or better on the final. (For an uncurved A-, which is not what I want, I need a 70 or better on the final.)
Wish me luck.
