<p>I'm curious, how are grades determined for the following courses, and how do you "get the A" ???</p>
<p>math 215, organic chemistry, great books, and french 235 if anybody knows</p>
<p>I have the info from the syllabi, but my question is actually what percentages do you need to get the A, and are any of the classes curved generously?</p>
<p>These classes tend to be curved so X% of the class get's an A, Y% a B, and so forth.</p>
<p>Whether you consider the curves generous or not is up to you - the grading is all relative.</p>
<p>In example, for Math 215 in Fall 2005 semester, 80% in the course was a B+.
The first midterm average was 67%, second midterm 64%, and final exam 73%. There were also homeworks, quizzes, and lab projects. The curves are set differently for each section.</p>
