Finals are graded
Let the flood of emails begin :-)
[really, it is ok to email me or drop by and inquire about the final.]
It wasn't that bad in the end, and I scaled generously. The multiple choice average was 74.5%, and the problems average was 60%. I scaled each part (MC and problems) separately to come out to an 80% average with 12.5% standard deviation.
In rough terms, that means if you got a 50% overall, you still passed. Yes, it was that hard ... I consider a raw score of 50% a suitable passing grade, and a raw score of more than 80% worth an A on the final.
There will be lots of detail on this tomorrow, and I should have final grades posted by tomorrow night. The early numbers tell me that on average 40% of you actually improved your overall grade after the final exam.
So rest easy! No one dropped by even a full letter grade after taking the final.
