Final

[Daniel Howard]

Do we just come to class for the Final on Wednesday to get all the details on what we are supposed to do for the final? Does anyone have any specific suggestions on what to study for on the final?

Thank you,

Daniel Howard

The final is totally done in the scheduled time. You'll come, get the assignment, do it, turn it in, and go.

Do we need to turn in anything on the grading site?

No, when you hand me your paper, I'll put in Yes-es on the site for every question, then go and grade them by looking at the paper in front of me. You'll be able to see your final grade shortly thereafter. I generally grade them as they get turned in, so most people will have their grade by the time they get home the day of the final.

Jay said today that we can go to either scheduled final (Monday at 11:00 am, or Wednesday at 2:30 pm).  You can also schedule an appointment with Jay to take it outside of those times, permitted he is around.  Good luck everybody!

[Jay McCarthy]

If you have already done the final, you should see that you Min and Max grades are the same. That's your final grade.

The grade so far doesn't include the final the denominator, because I've set its due date for Wednesday, so it is overly high.

Of the 29 people in the class, 24 took the final. (4 of those that
didn't couldn't pass even with a perfect final and the other 1 must be
a slacker?)

The final took a modest 2.5 hours to grade.

Stats: Min: 62.2% Mean: 126.22% Median: 132.00% Max: 164.00%

On the site, all your grade calculations should be equal, because it's
over. Here are the final stats:

Min: 10.84% Mean: 80.26% Median: 94.18% Max: 111.53%

I'm very proud that the MEDIAN is an A. I'm glad to maintain my
reputation as the easiest hardest CS class.

I'll be submitting these grades, probably on Monday. If you see any
problems, please contact me before then.

Congratulations, everyone!

Now, the next phase of your journey of "things to learn that I didn't realize I should learn" is Haskell. Good luck. :)
