a.
Grades for the final have been posted to BB and to the grades page.
b.
You will also see your letter grade both on BU Brain and on BB.
It is based on the column "GrTotAdj" which is "GrandTot" + 30
extra points.
In other words, I curved your total grade, because "GrandTot" amounts to
the total of all your quizzes, exams, and (converted) homework points.
c.
You were a very good crowd, and it was my pleasure and privilege to have
been your instructor. If you need some advice and you think that I'd be
the right person to give it to you, do not hesitate to ask.
And don't be shy to ask me for references if you need them.
Enjoy your summer break, and good luck for your further studies
