Grade Distribution Histogram, Spring 2017
The grading this year will be an attempt to follow the same absolute standards as last year, but with different problems, graders, and students, there is no guarantee that either the proportions of each letter grade, or the numerical cutoff for each letter grade, will be the same as last year. But this histogram should still be at least a rough indication of what the grading this year will look like.

Grade Distribution Histogram, Spring 2018
Grade histogram showing the cuts that were used for the final determination of grades. After the numerical assignments, each student's grades were considered individually by the course staff, and a few grades that were near borderlines were boosted above them. Most such boosts were given to students whose grades have improved significantly during the term, and students whose average has been pushed down by a single low grade.
