2024-12-20 2:50 p.m. -- Here are the final exam scores and class grades. My grading program doesn't show all of the scores at the end of the semester, for privacy reasons. The final exam histogram is at the bottom, as usual. I re-emailed your grade ID a few days before the final; please look for that email (or the original one) before emailing me to ask for it. The exam average was a lot higher than Exam #1's, but a bit lower than Exam #2's -- neither is a surprise, as the final is comprehensive, and longer. Being honest, I think the final was on the easy side, thanks in large part to the fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions I used to help speed up grading for a class of this size (which, hopefully, also made the grading more consistent). Regardless, there are lots of `A' grades, which is great. As promised, I reviewed the exams of students who were close to reaching the next-higher letter grade. If you are just below a letter-grade cutoff, rest assured that I did review your final. If there's a student earning a grade of B, C, D, or E, there will be a student with the top B/C/D/E. Being one of those students does not entitle you to the next-higher grade. (If it did, after enough iterations, everyone would end up with an 'A'!) I reviewed 18 such exams, about 13% of the total. Demanding that I review or re-review your exam because you worked really hard, or you would lose your 4.0 GPA if you get a 'B', or anything of the sort, won't convince me to change your final exam score or your class grade. When looking at the final exam scores, please note: The max score possible was 110, not 100. That means an exam score of 88, say, isn't as good as it looks at first glance. (88/110 is 80%, a low 'B' rather than a high 'B'.) Final detail: I will be uploading course grades to UAccess later today. You get to see them a couple of hours before the University does. I wish you all a good, if all-too-brief, semester break! --lim P.S. BTW, the SCS response rate ended up being 82.67%. Thanks in advance for your anonymous feedback ... which I can't read yet! (Instructors don't get to see the feedback until sometime -- days or weeks, it varies -- after we submit class grades to the university. Given the proximity to the holidays, I'm not expecting to see them until January.) =============================================================================== Class: CSc 345, Analysis of Discrete Structures (Fall,2024) Section: 001 NOTE: The "replace the lowest midterm with a percentage-equivalent copy of the final exam score" policy is in effect; these scores reflect this adjustment.
