Combined curve for all three exams. If you add your three exam scores, you get a score out of 325 points, called the "uniform exam score". The course-wide median for the uniform exam score was 210. The median for our section was 219. The following table assigns a letter grade to your uniform exam score:
285:A+
266:A
258:A-
244:B+
220:B
211:B-
200:C+
175:C
152:C-
138:D
130:D-
0:E

Your course grade. Divide the uniform exam score by five; this gives you the first 65% of your course grade. Add team homework, scaled at 20%, and quizzes (after dropping the lowest quiz), scaled at 15%. The resulting score out of 100% determines your course grade, according to the following table.
85.0:A+
79.6:A
77.6:A-
73.2:B+
67.6:B
64.2:B-
62.8:C+
57.6:C
48.5:C-
45.6:D
43.5:D-
0:E
