Final Grades

Final Grade Roster Explained:


1. The most you can score for your homework grade is 1 (100%). Homework total grades that have been bolded had scored higher than a 1 (100%).

2. If you received a zero by either not handing something in or not taking a test the space was left blank. if you did hand something in or took a test and still received a zero it was marked as a zero.

3. Students who earned a full letter grade higher on the second midterm have had their whole entries bolded. There were quite a few.

4. The average grade for the semester was a 33 and the median grade was a 36. Students who scored within a few points of 33 or 36 got a C (which means average) and the rest of the curve was based around that.
