Audit students have to turn in all homeworks and receive at least the equivalent of the letter grade C- for each homework. Pass/fail students pass at the equivalent of the letter grade C-, which includes scores from homeworks and exams.
Note: Generally, we assign grades based on a fixed interval scheme determined at the end of the course. This means that the cut-off for an A- may be lower than indicated in the table. Your performance depends mostly on how you do, not so much on how everyone else in the class does.
