Final: Courseinfo has the scores

Filed under: Announcements — Paul Hagstrom @ 9:53 pm

Ok, I’ve gotten through the grading, and the Courseinfo site has the scores.

As with the midterm, I don’t really look at these in terms of letter grades—they’re just numbers that go into the final computations, which I’m still doing (I have a few more extra credit assignments to grade before I’m finished with that). However, if you want to get a sense of what the number you see corresponds to, I would—if forced—probably assign letter grades to the final exam as follows: 60 and above out of 75 would be an A, and then down basically by 4s from there. So: 60-75 = A; 56-59 = A−; 52-55 = B+; 48-51 = B; 44-47 = B−; 40-43 = C+; 36-39 = C; 25-35 = C−.

For those keeping track at home, the total points were 75 (not 84) because the second part (identifying what made the sentences ungrammatical) was worth way too much the way I’d initially set it up, so I cut it back from being worth 18 points to being worth 9.

Also, I have created a key that I can email to you if you’d like to see it.

I hope to have the final grades up and submitted by tomorrow.
