The following cumulative scores and grades reflect current data.

Please be aware that, until all scores have been recorded, the letter grades shown are rough estimates based only on work done so far.

Letter grades are calculated according to the following procedure:

Assign class participation scores as follows:
- Definitely participated: 100
- Participated somewhat: 85
- Did not participate, or only rarely: 70
- Disruptive: 50
Calculate the cumulative score, based on scores for individual exercises, and the weightings described in the course information.
Compute the average of the top three scores.
Assign grades according to the formula.

Note that this mechanism is a combination of normative (achievement based) grading, and the traditional ``curve'': it's normative in the sense that your grade is based on an absolute scale of achievement, defined by the percentages given above; it's ``curved'' in the sense that the achievement scale is calibrated by the actual performance of the class, as defined by the average of the top three scores.
