Some statisitics for the final exam are:
Your Class Rank for this item: 3 / 141 Summary of Scores: High: 100 (90 %)
Low: 23 (21 %)
Median: 69 (62 %)
Mean: 69 (62 %)
Standard Deviation: 16
Number of scores: 141
Cut Off Points for the Final Grade The percentage is the total final percentage calculated as described in the syllabus.
Example: a 76% translates into an A-.
There are exceptions to this rule, only in the cases, where students received a better final grade than their percentage grade reflects due to various factors discussed in class.
Note that the mean is relatively low, due to the fact that students who dropped in the last two weeks are accounted with an F in this statistic. The median is a better measure to look at.
