Report on the midterm The grade distribution was roughly as I expected. Out of 75 points, the top three grades were 70, 69.5, and 69, close to perfect. This means that the exam was not grossly hard! 98 students took the exam. 14 were 61 and above. 38 were 50.5 and above. Above 50 would certainly be an A- or A if the final is similar. The median was 44. If you got at least 40 or perhaps a little less, you certainly have a shot at an A- if you do well on the final. And if you ace the final, you have a shot at an A. Above 25 would put you in the B+,B,B- range if you do similarly on the final. The few students who got below 20 should see me or Marnix to talk about strategy. Ray Fair
