a.
The final exams are graded and those grades are 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 5 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.
You can find a link to this archive at the bottom of my faculty page.
c.
It is time to say good bye.
I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching this semester's class.
Since this class had so few students, I was able to spend plenty of
time with those of you who were seeking me out.
It was my privilege to have been your instructor. Good luck to all of you!
