ASTR 110
Introduction to Astronomy

Letter grades are not provided because your letter grade in this class will be determined by the overall distribution of points at the end of the semester. However, you can see where you fall within that distribution at this time. Recall that your lowest midterm exam score of the four will be dropped in the computation of your total points in the class. In my grading system, those students near the class average usually end up with a grade in the low "B" range. The average is 69 and the std dev is 17. According to the curve I usually apply, for this exam score distribution, I would roughly assign letter grades as 45.0-64.9 is a "C", 65-79.9 is a "B", and 80 and above is an "A". But as I said, those letter grades mean very little at this time.

YES, WE HAD ONE PERFECT EXAM... THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HAD IN MY CLASSES IN 4 1/2 YEARS AT NMSU! CONGRATULATIONS AND AWESEOM JOB.

NOTE ABOUT NOT HAVING TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM. Eight (8) students scored 90 or above. Five (5) of these eight students scored 85 or above on Exam 1, Soooo... congratulations to you five, you are still eligible to opt out of the FINAL EXAM.
