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!

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.)
