Past Grade Distributions

Every year, I get questions regarding what it takes to get a particular grade, and while each year I curve the grades, the distributions shown in the tables below are for AY2017 and AY2018 and are reasonably representative. IOn both cases, point totals were out of a 100 based on a weighted sum of labs, exams, quizzes, and review questions. However, in 2017 there were only 5 labs instead of 6 2018, and conversely 5 quizzes instead of only 4 in 2018, and the weight distribution was also slightly different with exams having an overall higher weight in 2017 versus a lower weight for labs. Lab grades tend to be higher on average than exam grades, which explains the shift in distribution in 2018.
