Grades

[Leslie Almaraz 4G]

I heard that we only need 250 points in the whole class to pass. Is this true?

[Kendra Barreras 3E]

Dr. Lavelle's syllabus says that you need at least a 50% to get a passing grade in the class.

[Chanel D_4E]

Yes, you need at 250 in order to pass with a C-.

[Alexis 3F]

Does anyone know how many points would be needed, roughly, to get a B- or higher??

[Yailin Romo 4G]

Yes that is correct, you only need 250 points to pass the class with a C-

[Patricia Chan 1C]

According to Lavelle's syllabus, you need a 50% to pass with a C-. Hope this helps!

[Chanel D_4E]

Does anyone know how many points is equivalent to a C, C+, B-, B, B+, and so on?

[JohannaPerezH2F]

yes, to receive a C- we just need a total of 250 points

[Pablo 1K]

Yea roughly you need that amount.

[Jessica Tejero 3L]

yes a 50% is a C which is passing.

[AKhanna_3H]

Besides the 50% required to get a C-, Dr. Lavelle does not determine the grade cutoffs for an A, A-, B+, etc. until after the final, meaning you may not have to get the standard 93% to get an A in the class. It all depends on the overall scores at the end.

[Grecia Velasco 1G]

Yes, you need at 250 in order to pass with a C-.

Thanks! I totally forgot about this until now.

[Maya Beal Dis 1D]

Would it be possible that the final curve of the overall class would make it so you need higher than a 93% to get an A? Would he curve the class up?

[Anvi Brahmbhatt 4A]

Having 250 points allows you to pass with a C-.

[KayleyW_3L]

Would it be possible that the final curve of the overall class would make it so you need higher than a 93% to get an A? Would he curve the class up?

I don't think he'll ever curve the final grade down. From what I've heard from my TA, he will only ever curve the final grade in people's favor.
