DISCLAIMER: Ignore this section (if you can). It is not official. This course has no official letter grades for exams. At the end, number grades for homework, midterms, and the final are added, and letter grades for the course are based on that one number (total score for all work).
That having been said, you may take as a rough guide for this exam only that 85-100 is an A (including A-), 75-84 is a B (including B+ and B-), and 74 and below is a C (including C+ and C-).
This entails no promise to use the same percentage ranges on the second midterm or on the final. Last year, 90 and above was an A. This year, we have a new textbook and exam format, and the range is lower, at least on the first midterm, but it may go up as we get more used to the textbook, the computers, and the exams.
Repeating what the disclaimer says in other words, we average numbers not letters. Don't come to me saying that you had an A on the homework and both midterms and a B on the final, so how could you possibly get a B for the course. If the midterms were both 85, the homework was 90, and the final was 75, your total grade is 85 + 85 + 90 + 2 * 75 = 410 points out of 500 (the final counts double). That's 410 / 500 = 82%, which is not an A.
