Exam information:
The third exam was Wednesday July 19.
The second exam was Wednesday, June 28. It covered
chapter 9 material, primarily
definitions, theorems, and examples related to class notes and homework
problems. The grading scale was:
at least 80 = A, less than 80 but at least 60 = B,
etc. Scores on the initial exam were low, and
there was a makeup exam on July 13th, at which time you
were able to earn back up to half of your lost points on
each problem. After the makeup exam, there were
3 A's, 5 B's,
6 C's, 2 D's. Bring your exams on Thursday July 13, to JWB 208,
for problem by problem make-up questions, and earn up to half of
your missed points back! Subject matter for each problem will be
drawn from a subset of the test material, with which you have been
provided.
The first exam was Wednesday June 7.
It covered chapter 8 of Wade's second edition,
our class notes, and our homework. The grading scale was:
at least 80 = A, less than 80 but at least 60 = B,
etc. There were 7 A's, 4 B's, 2 C's, 5 D's. (I don't
assign + or - grades at the time of the midterm, see below.
Final course
grades will be obtained by adding the various numerical scores,
with appropriate scalings to reflect their relative weights.
The cut-off scores will be similarly added to create
the final-grade intervals. At that point
+ and - refinements will be assigned.
