Important Updates for All Students
enrolled in
Fall 2011
[LAST UPDATED: 12/16/2011]
- Fall 2011: All A338 Participation Scores, Final
Averages, and Final Grades are posted on OnCourse. Final Grades have
been submitted to the Registrar and should be visible to you on
OneStart Saturday. A couple of notes. First, the Participation score
had a maximum of 100 and the scores ranged from 70 to 95. While you
didn't have to be speaking up every class meeting to earn a high
score, as I mentioned at the very start of the term, you had to be
there. Hence, lower Participation scores were often the consequence of
excessive absenteeism. Second, consistent with what I said all along,
I took the liberty of dropping the initial grading scale to account
for the low HW averages (and other things) since they were part of the
learning experience. I dropped the entire grading scale by 4.5% and
retained the 10-point per grade structure. So the lowest A- went from
90.0% to 85.5%, the lowest B- from 80.0% to 75.5%, and so on. The
upper and lower 2.5% of each range still determined the +/- grades in
each range. Finally, remember your average is not just adding all the
points and dividing by the total. It used the weighted values you can
find on the General Information page of the website. Final grade
distribution was 4 A, 3 A-, 2 B+, 3 B, 1 B-, and 1 C+, or 7 As, 6Bs,
and 1C. Once again: thanks to all of your for being active members of
this course over the semester. I hope you found it a valuable and
worthwhile experience.
