Formula for the Curve

For any assignment curved in any of my classes, the formula is the same:

Individual's score
------------------------- X 100
Highest score in class

In this case, there were a few folks who scored 100 or 92, but I took them off the curve, and used the next highest score (90) as the denominator.

So, if your score had been 80, solving this equation, you would have a score of

80
--- X 100 = 88.8
90
