Here is how I graded them. I gave them a letter grade and assigned points based upon the letter grade. Here is the scale:
A+ 125
A 110
B 90
B- 75
C/C+ 65
The points were assigned to create a difference between the various letter grades.
The C/C+ papers were not bad; they were average, basically something like a grade of 5 on a scale of 9. But, of course, there are still 125 points up for grabs in the final.
The papers were good enough that I plan on coming up with a higher-than-usual grading curve. I will need to coordinate with the other section, but I doubt if there will be any (or more than a few) grades below 5.
