HISTOGRAM OF CUMULATIVE SCORES, QUIZES 1-3

Conversion to class grades (my current estimate of the curve, based on just the sum of the 3 quizes. You should add in your extra credit points before seeing what your current grade would be).

123-150 = 4.0

113-122 = 3.5

102-112 = 3.0

89-101 = 2.5

75-88 = 2.0

68-74 = 1.5

60-67 = 1.0
