Grading scale for the exam

Dear all,

We have agreed on a grading scale for your exam that requires 60% of the points for a grade 4.0 (pass). Since you have two jokers (the two worst submissions will be exempt from the total), you effectively only need 45% of the points. The complete scale can be found below.

Grade Points Percentage
1,0 27 100%
1,3 26
1,7 25
2,0 24
2,3 23
2,7 21
3,0 20
3,3 19
3,7 17
4,0 16 60%

All the best,

Your Introduction to Linguistics team
