From past experiences, usually what percentage has gotten you the letters grades A,B,C, etc...for Math 154 and Bio 101? I just had my Math 154 and Biology 101 final exams and I'm worried that I may have failed them.
The way marks are usually curved is that the class average becomes a C+ and the rest of the marks are distributed relative to that reference point. So theoretically, you could get 75% in the class but still end up with an A if the rest of the class does really bad.
They don't scale single exams anymore, but they do scale the overall mark which includes all your exams and assignments. Each professor does it differently and it depends on how the rest of the class did, so you'll just have to wait and see.. fingers crossed :)
Math 151, from my experiences, is definitely marked on a curve. Generally, there are no fit percent ranges for letter grades, especially if the class is marked on a curve. Like Simon has stated, how you do in a class that is marked on a curve is determined by how the rest of the class does.

Thanks! I appreciate your response... =)
Like A+ is 90-100? C- is 60-65? or something?
Thx in advance!
A+, A, A-
B+, B, B-
C+, C, C-
D, N, F
There's some other weird notations, like when you withdrawn before the course if over, but don't know all of those.
