Grades
Bryan Morse
10 = excellent
9 = good
8 = OK (average)
7 = some deficiencies
6 or lower = more significant deficiencies or inaccuracies
Notice that these roughly correspond to the interpretation of the usual letter grades (A, B, ...) and have numeric values at the top of those grade ranges. If any of you want to pick up or discuss your exam, just stop by my office.
I have also submitted final grades, and these should be available to you shortly.
One note on final grades: I mentioned in class that Gradebook didn't quite weight things as I intended because it's points-based approach artificially gave higher weight to those assignments that had a higher maximum point total. I have reweighted scores (using a spreadsheet) as originally stated on the class web page. This generally didn't change grades, though for a few of you it was enough to nudge the overall grade up slightly. For one student whose grade dropped as a result, I went with the higher grade from the Gradebook. I also made some adjustments for borderline cases so that differences in letter grade correspond to actual gaps in the numeric scores.
Bottom line: everyone got at least the grade calculated by Gradebook, and some got slightly better.
Thank you all for your hard work this semester, and it was a pleasure having you in class. Congratulations to those who walked in graduation exercises last week or who will be doing so in August. For those returning in the Fall, please don't hesitate if there's anything I can do to help.
