We just had our final and now idk about the final grade. this worries me because i put a lot of effort into that class and got above 90s on both midterms (averaged in the 80s for both). I’m wondering if anyone knows how this class will get curved because i’ve heard from a lot of people that in the past, this class has curved downward, and I’m afraid of the case where a final grade percentage of 90% or above is still not an A. My prof doesn’t disclose this kind of information to us, and i think he may be new to olin (Jayaraman). Does anyone know?

I know that in the past 2 midterms, about 1/3 or 1/4 of the class got 90% or above, so if it goes by the typical grading scale (90=A, 80=B, 70=C, etc.), then there’d be about 1/3 to 1/4 As and an average of B or B+. Is this typically what’s they want in the grading distribution?

Thanks
