231B Grading Policy

This is a rough guide of the cutoffs used in grading this course.

Actual cutoffs used in a given year will often vary one or two percentage points in either direction.

The philosophy is that for a graduate course you either know it or you don't.

Only in exceptional circumstances will a test be curved.
