Miderm exams will be returned. The grading was done as follows: 11 problems worth 10 points each were graded and generated a number between 0 and 110, which was translated into a letter grade. This letter grade was then transformed into another number using Moodle's number-letter translation table. This number is the one entered in Moodle. (Solutions to Midterm Problems)
