Distribution of Scores on Top 4 Quizzes
The part of your grade that is determined by your quizzes depends on
your best
four quiz scores. I calculated these as follows.
Since Quiz 1 had only 80 points and the rest
of the quizzes had 100, I multiplied everyone's quiz 1 score
by 1.25. So now you have 5 quiz scores, on each of which the maximum
possible points is 100. I added these 5 scores and subtracted the
smallest of these 5. This gives me your score on your top 4 quizzes.
The distribution of top 4 scores is approximately as follows:
Approximate A range 352-400 (top 13%)
Approximate B range 312-351 (next 34%)
Approximate C range 260-311
When I calculate your overall grade, I will use your numerical
total score on quizzes for averaging, along with your final exam
score, your hw scores, attendance scores, and your winnings.
