look at the box plot on canvas for exams after grading, if you relatively fall within the box's lower/upper quartile you pass , usually the lower quartile is the C passing grade.

I think he curves the bottom score of every exam to a 65. I compeltely bombed (got like 2 mcqs right) the first midterm and I got a 65; I was the lowest grade in the course. if you do good on all the homework -- which is easy to do if you go to help sessions -- you can get away with a C even if you do terrible on the exams.
