<p>So, I got 80th percentile for my finals, 60th percentile for midterm2, 45th percentile for midterm1, 50th percentile for homework & lab, no missing lab.Finals is worth 40%, midterms 20% each, homework 20%. And I got a B in the curved class.</p>
<p>I am just extremely painfully curious, what is the cut-off for B+? Any kind soul who has gotten B+ and above care to share? This is so effin ridiculous that it's giving me nightmares indicating I should transfer every night.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I did not take this class with Huang (I took it with Stahler a semester before), but what I do know about Physics 7 is that in order to get an A-, you must have a 75th percentile average overall. My guess is that the B+ cutoff would be somewhere around 70th percentile or, if you’re lucky, 65 at the lowest. </p>
<p>Let me take a simple rough weighted average of your percentiles (I know this may not be the way they actually calculate this, but I’m only using it as a sanity check), .4<em>80 (final) + .2</em>45 (MT1) + .2<em>60 (MT2) + .2</em>50 (homework, lab) = 63. This is close to the 65 number I suggested, but a bit lower. It doesn’t surprise me that you were given a B, assuming that the cutoff for a B+ was somewhere around 65 to 70.</p>
<p>you should email him, my guess is the cutoff was in the high 60s</p>
