Math 53 (frenkel) curved?

<p>Is this class curved? Can anyone who has taken this class before tell me how the final grading curve is like? i just got B+ for my midterm :'( thanks</p>

<p>I got a B+ and a B on the midterms and still ended up with an A-.
The class is definitely curved so all hope is not lost yet.</p>

<p>you are acting like a B+ is the end of the world lol. I got a 44 on the MT too haha…but yeah. don’t worry, i know so many more people who ended up with Cs and Ds…it wasn’t that hard o.O</p>

<p>just like any class, one “hit” (a B+ hardly counts as a "hit’ btw; you are still very in contention for an A depending how well you do moving forward) will not destroy your grade. the class is indeed curved, as many (most, all) math courses are. good luck!</p>

<p>Now if the class averaged an A or an A-, I’d be a little bit worried. However if the average was like a B or B-, I think you’re still doing okay.</p>

<p>My 53 class did so well, that it was curved down.</p>

<p>A high 80s was curved to a B-.</p>

<p>man, i am really worried… if >44 = A, does this mean that ~40% has higher grade than that?</p>

<p>That sounds to me like if you got over 44 total points, you are in the “A” range. I could be wrong…</p>

<p>I took his class six years ago. I appreciated how he took the time to assign approximate grade ranges for each exam, so that you always know how you’re doing in the class.</p>

<p>I scored around 45/50 on the first exam, around 40/50 on the second exam (which had a lower mean) and around 65/90 on the final exam (score distribution not publicized.) This combination was enough for an A overall.</p>
