At the end of the quarter:

Final Exam Stats: Top 25% of class: 93/100 and above, Median: 88/100, Low 25%: 81/100 and below.
There were 7 perfect scores. Good job!


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
1) ALL your scores are posted in Catalyst, INCLUDING those that were NOT counted in the grade computation.
A blank score means: that assignment was excused and was NOT counted toward your grade.
In addition, your lowest numerical (non-blank) scores shown in Catalyst for homework, activities, and participation were NOT included when computing those averages.
2) Your total percentage was computed according to the grade break-down shown in your syllabus.
(Yes, I did drop your lowest scores when computing your total percentage. Really.)
3) The class grades were high, so there was no curving and grades were assigned according to the posted grading scale.
There was no rounding of percentages.

If you'd like to see or pick up your final exam, you can do so during Spring Quarter at my office on:
Monday, 03/28, 2:40-3:30pm, or Wednesday, 03/30, 2:45-3:45pm  -- in Padelford C-326
(will post more possible times later)
Note: Once you pick up your exam, you cannot bring it back later for a re-grade,
so please make sure to ask any questions you have about your exam's grading before removing it from my office.

Have a good Spring Break, and I'll see many of you in Math 112 next quarter!
