Basic Algorithms class:

Here are some grading statistics.

On the final exam, the scores ranged from 15 to 146 (out of 180), and
the average was 73.

The composite number grades for the class were computed by giving the
following weights:

        final: 40%
        midterm: 20%
        homework: 6.5% each
        quiz: 2.5% each

For example, for each homework assignment, divide your score by the
total points possible, and multiply by 6.5.  Do this for all the
grades (count any "-1" grades as zero), and add them up, and you get a
number out of 100.  This is your composite score.  The composite
scores for the class ranged from 6.9 to 84.1, and the average was
48.8.  I don't know how these will translate to letter grades.
