a list of grades.

- final exam is comprehensive and it includes
some new material from chapters 10-11

- Of course it is a 2 hr exam, about time an a half in length
- expect both short answer and multiple choice on past exams
- all posted material is still available on this site

Grading Information
On Wed Dec 12 you can pick up, in class, a sheet with your grades
as recorded in my grade sheet. Please check to make sure there are no errors.
The first number is a total (exams and papers) and it is the best predictor
of your grade to date.
maximum possible score is 375 points-- the highest grades in the class
are about 330-340.
If I were assigning grades now (before the final) it would probably be
- A's 330- 300 (to about 92% of 330 points)
- B's 329-268 (to 85% of the 330)
- C's 267-218 (to 65% of 330 )
- D's 217-198 (to about 60% of 330)
- strong quizzes and other assignment can shift by, say, 10 points
Of course the final counts 175 points so it will
make a significant difference in the overall grade.
Your Assigned Papers were returned Mon Dec 12 ; average is 65-70 points out of 75
Exams were returned on Friday, Dec 7
Chapter 10 material (10-1 through 10-4)
final exam is Monday, December 17, 1:15-3:15 pm
(the syllabus has a small error in the exam time)
