  • Midterms:
    • Midterm 1-Aut12 grading key
    • Stats on Midterm 1:
    • Grading corrections to midterm 1 must be turned into your TA no later than Nov 1 in TA section. We will NOT change the partial credit scheme in any way. We will correct errors in addition or grading according to the provided key.
    • Midterm 2-Aut12 grading key.

  • Grade Estimate

    Here is how to estimate your current grade. Calculate the number

    x=(1/2)[ (midterm 1 score) + (midterm 2 score) ]

    Your grade estimate is

    (1/24)(x-3)

    !!! WARNING!!! This estimate does not weight the final exam, the homework or the worksheet components of your grade. The final exam is worth 40% of your grade and could easily cause your estimated grade to go up or down.
