I record your numeric scores, not letter grades, but to give you an idea of how you're doing in the class I post approximate gradelines here. If the A line is 40, that means 40 is the lowest score in the A range, so it's the lowest A-. 39 would be the highest B+ in that situation.
| Exam 1 | |
|---|---|
| A | 44 |
| B | 37 |
| C | 30 |
