No.
As stated in the syllabus 50% or higher is needed to pass with C- or higher.

While the final exams are not curved, I do believe that at the very end, it depends on whether or not the top person did in the class to determine the grade of everyone else.

The points at the end may be adjusted based on the midterm and final averages. For example, everyone may get an extra 10-20 points (out of 500) to boost the grades a little bit.

From what I can gather, the midterm was quite difficult for most people, so there's a chance a few points may be added to normalize the grades of the class.

It's 50% to get a C- in the class and he probably rounds your grade at the end if you're really close.

He has a "Grade adjustment period" at the end of the quarter. So the class gets curved slightly at the end.
