Final Exam Stats:

First Quartile: 88.5/100, Median: 80/100,  Third Quartile: 71/100
Section B:
First Quartile: 86.5/100, Median: 76/100,  Third Quartile: 65/100

 (Since the final exams and the stats were different for the two sections,  I computed the grades separately for the two sections, adjusting for the difference in the final exam performance)

Grade Stats:
First Quartile: 3.7,  Median: 3.2,  Third Quartile: 2.6

You can check your grade in Catalyst Gradebook.

If you'd like to pick up your final exam:
1) I'll be in my office 1-1:30pm on Wed  06/15, or by appointment Thu 06/16.

2) Alternatively, you can slide a self-addressed, stamped envelope under my office door (and email me that you did so!) and I will send it to you by mail.
3) Or, you can pick it up during Fall Quarter at any of my office hours (at the end of September, you'll be able to click here, then follow the links under "current teaching (Fall 2011)" to see my office hours. )

Have a good summer!
