Grading Scale Chem 14A

[NayeliPlayas_1L]

On the syllabus it says we need 50% or higher to pass the class with a C- or higher. Would a 90% account for an A-, 78% for a C+, and so on?

[Lisa Seidl 3H]

I believe my TA said it depends on what the class average ends up being. So we would have to wait until the end of the quarter to see what grading "curve" he decides on, but that could be wrong.

[Sami Siddiqui 1J]

I'm not exactly aware of how this grading curve works. Can someone please clarify because I thought the points we earned individually was the only thing that was being factored into grading.

[Seraphina Joseph 1C]

I thought he had said in the beginning that he doesn't curve but I could be worng

[Ralph Zhang 2L]

Yeah I do not think this class is curved. You need a raw scre of 90% to get an A.

[Laura 3l]

I was also confused on the grading scale because I also saw that in the syllabus. Does anyone know what the in between grades are if a C- is 50%? Like what is the percentage gap between a B+ to a B- ?

[Emily_Stenzler_2H]

Yeah I do not think this class is curved. You need a raw scre of 90% to get an A.

So a 90% will not be an A-, it will be an A?

[Renny_kim_2G]

I thought we didn't have a curve since people in groupme said like we can only miss a total of 17 points to maintain an A in the quarter.

Oops I meant A-, 94% is an A and 97% is A+. My bad.

[Ralph Zhang 2L]

I thought we didn't have a curve since people in groupme said like we can only miss a total of 17 points to maintain an A in the quarter.

Considering that this class has a total of 500 points according to the syllabus, missing 17 points max is to maintain an A+, not an A.

[Adrienne Chan 1G]

Yeah I think Lavelle said there wasn't a curve, at least from what I can remember!

[Charisma Arreola 2F]

I believe there is no curve, but the only grading exception is that a 50% is deemed as a C- for passing.
