· Please bring your students ID for the
final test!!!
· The total scores and final grades for each
student are sent separately to each student via email. If you have
any questions, please write to me. The
following are some statistics on the final exam, total scores and final
grades:
The
mean for Final is 59.11, for Total Score is 71.708, for Final Grade is 2.996
(out of 4.0). The max for Final is 99, for Total Score is 95.15, for Final
Grade
is 4.0. I curved the Final Grade
according to the rule that people who got scores 0, M-A, M, M+A, 95.15 (M
stands for the mean score, A is the standard deviation) would, correspondingly,
get grades 0, 2.45, 3.0, 3.55, 4.0. For the Final Grade, 1 people from the
interval 0.13~2.0, 21 people from
the interval 2.0~3.0,
7 people from the interval 3.0~3.2, 10 people from the interval 3.2~3.6, and 5
people from the interval 3.6~4.0.
