nice.

How do classes graded on a curve workm, /sci/?

I'm not a mathfag, but I need this statistics class to get my degree. The outline says the bottom 30 percentile get an F.
Let's say there's 100 people in the class to make things easy.
Bottom 30th would be the bottom 30 people, right?
So what if 10 people get a %5 and 30 people get a 20%. How do they decide with people pass and which people fail?

I'm asking because this class is piss-easy. We just had the midterm and I'm sitting at a 44/45 (the final /45 and one quiz /10 we haven't written yet.) If EVERYONE'S getting grades like mine, does that mean I could fail the course just because my name's at the beginning of the alphabet or something?
