<p>We had 2 midterms. On the first one, I got 34/40 (8 points above the class average). On the second midterm, I got 26/40 (2 points below the class average). I'm pretty sure I tanked the final exam - definitely scored in the D if not F range. </p>
<p>The calculation of grade options are
1) 10% homework, 20% each 2 midterms and the final (50%)
or
2) 10% homework, 20% the better of 2 midterms, and the final 70% </p>
<p>How generously does Hans Wenzl curve?</p>
<p>I had him for 20F and he didnt really curve. Most math classes don’t. They’re lenient enough with how you can drop a midterm and replace it with your final. Sorry to say this, but If you really tanked it, you probably didnt pass.</p>
<p>Hey chemeng66, the class will be curved depending on the average. I had him for math 20F, and his midterms were ridiculously easy. I entered his final with 100%. Well, basically, I failed the final so hard. I couldn’t even do two problems out of 8 and had to leave them blank. I guess I was too confident before and didn’t really study for the math final at all. Well, basically I was thinking that I might end up with a B, but when grades came out, I still ended up with an A. I might have received a 60% on the final, so grades are definitely curved. Good luck!</p>
<p>I passed the class with a C!
I’ll definitely study harder next time!</p>
