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.
•
The hwkAdj column has your HW points scaled to 300 points.
•
The "TOTAL" column computes the points you actually achieved,
"TotRound" rounds this value up to the nearest integer.
•
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!
•
The "Grade" column computes your letter grade
from the "Grade+15" column, in accordance with the grading scale
you see on the syllabus page of the course site.
•
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!

I have graded the final exams of those who took it at the regular time.
Some makeups are due on Thu morning, and that might affect the (upward) adjustment to your points.
I expect to have everything done, including your letter grade, by Thursday evening.
