If you are seeing a lot of annoying markings on this web page (empty
boxes, or black diamonds containing question marks), please go to the “view”
menu of your browser, select “character/text encoding,” and then chose “Western
(Windows)” and this page miraculously will look nice and neat. If you do not have “Western (Windows)” as an
option, any other “Western” setting will be much better than the default
“Unicode” (although I recommend switching back to “Unicode” after leaving this
page-- since leaving it in a “Western” setting supposedly weakens the security
of your browser).

The
final exam was worth 30 points, although (as with the midterm) I added two
points to everyone’s raw score, so 32 points was hypothetically possible. Some people did not give a code name, so not
everyone is listed here. The class average
was 23.2/30, which a high C+. Unlike the
midterm, which had a B average, this class’s final exams were more typical of
what I’ve seen in past semesters. Each
part of the exam had students who did exceptionally well, students who did
average-okay, and students who did poorly. If anything stood out, it was that the
graphing section had a lower average than what I typically see (while the star
wheel and multiple-choice sections had slightly higher averages than what I
typically see).
The
final letter grades had a few close calls.
Fortunately, all of these resolved on the higher side once every last
point was included (including extra credit write-ups, the two-point bonus for perfect
attendance, and my being a little generous in granting partial credit for work
that was submitted very late).
You
were a great class! Have a wonderful
summer everyone!
