Important remark on grades:
What is entered for your exam grade is your numerical score,
not a letter grade. So, it is better to have a 177
than a 176, even though both are in the A range. And, if you
are only 1 point away from the next letter-grade cut-off,
this is insignificant for your final grade. So, you might
more accurately think of a 138 as a "B+/B" rather than a solid B+,
and the same is true of a 137.
Remark on final grade ranges: Although I was a bit disappointed with
performance on the final exam, I was still pleased with how much students
learned this semester. So I expect to make the curve for final
course grades somewhat "easier" than the curve for the final exam may lead you
to guess.
An additional remark: I don't yet have final course grades finished.
Furthermore, because of the large number of students in the class, I can't
e-mail final grades to you in advance of their release by the registrar.
So, my apologies, but please be patient in waiting for your final grade.
I know that the suspense can be maddening!
Have a great summer! I hope you enjoyed this class as much as I did!
