Here is the updated grade record with final exam scores and course grades. These are the grades I will be reporting to the registrar. They include the course curve, and the dropping of your lowest quiz and homework scores. Note that those lowest scores appear in the record, but were dropped during the calculation of your grade. Statistics on the final exam are given in an entry below.
Have a good break!
I am in the process of calculating course grades. I will post them in an updated grade record as soon as they are available.
Final exam stats: n=292; min=4; 1st quartile=38; median=47; 3rd quartile=56; max=70 (2 people).
I'll be holding an office hour, 4-5 PM this Friday, March 20, if you would like to stop by and see your final exam or last writing problem. You can do this during any of my office hours next quarter, too.
The MSC will be open this Friday until 9:30 PM.
CLUE will be holding a review for the 120 final. The review will be Thursday, March 12 from 7 to 9 PM in MGH 288.
Here is a review sheet for the final exam.
Here is the grade record.
Your grade information is listed under the last four digits of your student id number. Be sure to check that your scores have been recorded correctly. If you find an error, please bring it to the attention of your TA right away. Included is also an current estimated course grade. This includes the course curve, and the dropping of your lowest homework score (note that your lowest score appears for the sake of record, but were dropped during the calculation of your current estimated grade). Obviously it does not include the final exam: that can have a very large impact on your actual course grade.
If you did not take one of the two exams, and have made arrangements with me to compensate for this, the grade estimate is not accurate. Too much depends on how you do on the final exam to give a useful estimate.
Here are answers to the second midterm exam.
Here are partial statistics on the exam: n=225; min=8; 1st quartile = 25; median = 28; 3rd quartile = 30; maximum=38.
Later this week I will post a grade record for you to check that your scores have been recorded correctly. There will also be an estimated current course grade, which will take into consideration both exams, homework scores, and test-prep scores.
Just a reminder: chapter 7, though on the review sheet, was actually covered on the first midterm: don't worry about studying that material for the second midterm.
Also, CLUE will be holding a review for the second midterm this Wednesday, Feb. 25, from 7 to 9 PM in MGH 251.
Here is a review sheet for midterm 2.
Statistics for the first midterm: n=312, min=4, 1st quartile=24, median=30, 3rd quartile=35, max=40 (18 students)
The table below shows approximate grade translations from your exam score to a 4.0 scale. This is only approximate and I will not be using this translation for anything: it is only for you to get a rough sense of what your score means. Here I've set a low median grade of 2.6; it will almost surely be higher (historically, the median grade in this course has been between 2.5 and 3.0).
| exam score | approximate grade |
| <20 | 0.0 |
| 22 | 1.0 |
| 24 | 1.4 |
| 26 | 1.8 |
| 28 | 2.2 |
| 30 | 2.6 |
| 32 | 2.8 |
| 34 | 3.2 |
| 36 | 3.4 |
| 38 | 3.7 |
| 40 | 4.0 |
