Final Exam scores available on Stellar

Hi Everyone,

The final has been graded and you can find your scores on Stellar.
Median score was 150 out of 200.  Top score was 188.
Here is a rough breakdown of the exam scores into letter grade equivalents
150-200 A
120-150 B
100-120 C
< 100  D or F.
Remember that the final exam contributes 40% of the overall course grade.
I'm told that the course grades will be available on Websis by tomorrow.

Enjoy your holidays. 
Be sure to write us if you get any good ideas on proving P neq NP....

please review HW grades online

Hi students,
Please take time to review your online grades and check that they match the grades on your returned homework (which can be found in the UMO if you haven't picked it up).  We want to make sure you get credit for your work.  If your grade needs correcting, you can bring HW to the final exam to give to us.

Best, Andy
