* The grade scale for this course is based on the highest student; however, anyone who does better on the traditional grade scale based on the total points will receive the higher grade. The left percentage for each student reflects the traditional grade scale, while the right percentage reflects the grade scale based on the highest student. This semester, both grade scales came out exactly the same with 7 A's, 5 B's, 2 C's, zero D's and 5 F's. Allowing you to use either scale is about the most lenient I can be. I just can't go any lower on the grade scale based on the highest student because in most cases it is considerably easier than the grade scale based on total points. In the above spreadsheet, one student's percentage based on the total points rounds off to the next higher grade. I may reconsider this one case but no others.
