Grades for Physics 377, Fall 2000

The second lab test had a maximum possible score of 30 points. I added up all the scores, from lab reports and lab tests, equally -- with the exception of the first lab report, which only counted half as much as the others. I then scaled the total scores so that they added up to 100. The distribution of grades looks like this:

I determined the following grade boundaries:

               A  >=  90     points            ( 5 students)
        90  >  B  >=  80     points            (15 students)
        80  >  C  >=  70     points            ( 8 students)
        70  >  D  >=  60     points            (10 students)
        60  >  F             points            (10 students)

Here are the grades for each student, with a "code number" for identification. The "code number" is generated by adding together the three components of a Social Security number. Thus, someone with SS 012-34-5678 would have "code number" 012+34+5678 = 5724.
