MAC 3473, Section 3205 (7th period)
Honors Calculus 2
Fall 2011
The cutoffs given below are the bottom for the “flat” grade, not for the minus grade. The A- cutoff is 1/3 of the way down from the A cutoff to the B cutoff; the B+ cutoff is 1/3 of the way up from the B cutoff to the A cutoff. The other plus and minus grades work similarly, except that I do not give D-‘s (anything lower than the D cutoff is an E).

If you have a question about your grade or would like to look at your graded exam, please DO NOT EMAIL ME THE QUESTION; please see me in my office after the start of Spring semester. Tentatively, my spring office hours will be the same as they were in the fall. I will not send or discuss grades by email.
