The
final exam has been graded and the results have been posted via Score Reports.
The final course grades have also been assigned and posted via Score Reports.
The median score on the final exam was 178/200 and the average score
on the final was 174.8/200 with standard deviation 9.7%
The
second midterm has been graded and the results have been posted
via Score Reports. Solutions are also posted below. The average score
was 80.4/100 with the standard deviation 12.7% and the median score was
84.5/100. The high score was 100/100 and the low score was 60/100.
The
first midterm exam has been graded and the grades have been posted in
Score Reports. Solutions are posted below.
The average score was 85/100 with the standard deviation of 10.5%
and the median score was 86/100.
When the final course average was computed, the final exam was
rescaled to a maximum of 300 points (30% of the total), each of the
midterms was rescaled to the maximum of 200 points (20% of the total, each), the
h/wk score was rescaled to a maximum of 200 points (20% of the total)
and the quiz scores were rescaled to a maximum of 100 points (10% of
the total), for the total maximum of 300+200+200+200+100=1000
points.
There were 1 A+, 5 A, 2 A-, 4 B+, 1 B, 1 B-, 2 C+ and 1 C grades for
the course.
The course grading scale cut-off levels were as follows:
A+: 957.333, A: 914.667, A-: 872,
B+: 841.333, B: 810.667, B-: 780,
C+: 736.667, C: 693.333, C-: 650,
D+: 626.667, D: 603.333, D-: 580.

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

How
this course is graded and administered:
- Homeworks will count 20%
of the grade.
- There will be a number of
quizzes, 10 minutes
each, during the semester, given almost every Friday.
They will count 10% of the grade.
- There will be two midterm
exams, each counting
20% of
the grade. The midterms are tentatively scheduled for Friday, February
23 and Friday, April 6.
- The final exam will count
30% of the grade.
- I will also assign some
extra credit problems during the semester.
- Homeworks are collected
each Wednesday. You can
turn them
in either in class or by 4pm on Wednesday in the envelope on the door
of
my office. Late h/work will not be accepted, unless you have made
prior arrangements with me before the due date. Exceptions can be made
in cases of well-documented emergencies and illnesses.
- At the end of the semester
two lowest h/work
scores and one low quiz grade are
dropped.
- I will give you make-up
quizzes and midterms,
but again
only in exceptional cases.
- The final
