Exam 1 distribution

The mean for exam 1 was 72. Overall, I thought you did quite well. I tend not to waste a lot of effort converting numbers to letter grades at this point in a semester. But, to give you an idea, typically I put the mean at a B in a decent class. So, in this case above 80 is roughly in the A-/A range, 60-80 is in the B-/B/B+ range, below is in the C range. I don't judge any grades on this exam as falling lower than that letter-wise.
