a.
The final exams are graded and available on BS and the anon grades page.
b.
I have also emailed the anon grades spreadsheet:
•
It contains your letter grades and you can explore the formulas I used to see how
they have been computed.
•
Just this one: the hwkAdj column has your HW points scaled to 400 points.
•
I have added a flat 10 points to everyone's score. Consider that your curved grade.
•
I have added an extra 5 points so that nobody will think they missed that next letter
grade by only one point.
You will lack at least SIX points!
•
Accordingly, don't try to bargain with me. You will not be successful!
•
I will migrate my course site into my archive.
Thus, the links have changed.
The new home page link now is
Math 330 Spring 2024 Home Page
c.
It is time to say good bye.
Grading of your homework aside, I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching this semester's class.
It was my privilege to have been your instructor. Good luck to all of you!
