   The FINAL EXAM  has been graded! See more detailed info below.
I will hold office hours on Monday,  Dec 19, 9am-10am and on Tuesday, Dec 20,  9am-11am. If you want to take a look at your final exam and discuss you course grade, you can do it then.


The Score Reports is the Math Department's gradebook program. All your h/work, quiz and exam grades will be posted there. You will be prompted for your NetID and NetID password after following the Score Reports link. Please check yor record regularly for completeness and accuracy.


Also I have an instant anonymous course evaluation form for this course. Please submit your comments at any time.
 
    
My office hours are Tuesday, 4:00pm-5:30pm and Thursday 10-11:30am. You DO NOT need to tell me in advance if you want to see me during the office hours. If you want to come at a different time, you need to schedule an appointment. My office is located in Altgeld Hall, room 365.

The FINAL EXAM has been graded and the results have been posted via Score Reports. Also, the final grades for the course have been assigned and also posted via Score Reports.  For those people who did some extra credit problems, their totals have been added to your second midterm exam scores. The only exception was the person who got 100 on the second midterm and in his case the extra credit points have been added to the final exam score.

The course point total has been computed  so that the maximum  is 1000 points (in the Score Reports  the course point total  is listed as "average x/1000"). Accordingly, when the course point totals were computed, the point totals for the h/works have been re-scaled to a maximum of 200, the point totals for the final have been rescaled to a maximum of 300, the point totals for the quizzes have been rescaled to a maximum of 100 and the point totals for the midterms have been rescaled to a maximum of 200 each.

The final course grades were assigned as follows:
