(6/8/11) Have a great summer!

(6/8/11) Final grades have been uploaded to the system and should be visible soon on SmartSite/SIS. Here is an explanation of how the grades were computed: a total score (in the range 0-100) was computed as a weighted average of the midterms, final, and homework assignments, as described in the syllabus (this total score can be seen on the course SmartSite grades, under "Weighted average"). The lowest homework score was dropped when computing the homework component of the grade. The letter grades were then computed from the total score according to the following cutoff ranges:

A	81-100
A-	80-80.999
B+	77-79.999
B	68-76.999
B-	65-67.999
C+	63-64.999
C	58-62.999
C-	56-57.999
D+	53-55.999
D	49-52.999
D-	48-48.999
F	0-47.999

The mean total score was 63.8, and the highest total score was 89.24. The following table shows the distribution of the letter grades:

A range (A, A-)		17 students (18.7%)
B range (B+, B, B-)		26 students (28.6%)
C range (C+, C, C-)		27 students (29.7%)
D range (D+, D, D-)		10 students (11.0%)
F		11 students (12.1%)
