MAC 3474, Section 3129 (7th period)
Honors Calculus 3
Spring 2010
The cutoffs given below are the bottom for the “flat” grade, not for the minus grade. The A- cutoff is 3/10 of the way down from the A cutoff to the B cutoff; the B+ cutoff is 3/10 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; arrange to see me in my office some time after May 20 (which may mean the fall unless you’re here over the summer). I will not send or discuss grades by email, even if you are out of town.
