CS560 Final Grading Info

Jim Plank --- Spring, 2006

Lab Grading Information

I took your total lab score, divided by 800 and multiplied by 100. You can assign a letter grade to your lab score using the scale at the end of this page.

Exam Grading Information

I converted the midterms to a score out of 100 using the following awk script: 
{ 
  i = your-score
  top = 45
  a = 35
  b = 28
  c = 21
  d = 15
  if (i >= a) {
    score = ((i-a)/(top-a)*10+90);
  } else if (i >= b) {
    score = ((i-b)/(a-b)*10+80);
  } else if (i >= c) {
    score = ((i-c)/(b-c)*10+70);
  } else if (i >= d) {
    score = ((i-d)/(c-d)*10+60);
  } else {
    score = (i/(d)*60);
  }
And the final using the following awk script: 
  top = 40
  a = 33
  b = 27
  c = 23
  d = 19
  if (i >= a) {
    score = ((i-a)/(top-a)*10+90);
  } else if (i >= b) {
    score = ((i-b)/(a-b)*10+80);
  } else if (i >= c) {
    score = ((i-c)/(b-c)*10+70);
  } else if (i >= d) {
    score = ((i-d)/(c-d)*10+60);
  } else {
    score = (i/(d)*60);
  }

Final Grading Information

Then I normalize the lab scores by 0.50, the midterm by 0.25 and the final by 0.25, which gives me a score out of 100 that I put on the following scale:
