Grading will be on a curve, although it is the opinion of the instructor that there is a certain
minimum set of knowledge which you must demonstrate to be considered proficient in the
subject. The curve takes into account problems in measurement and will not be decided until all
grades are in. Your midterm grade will have a limited number of data points and may or may not
be an accurate reflection of your final grade, just your proficiency up to that point. The base
grading scale given below may be adjusted based upon the performance of the class as a whole:

100-92 A 91-90, A-
89-88, B+ 87-82, B 81-80, B-
79-78, C+ 77-72, C 71-70, C-
