Final Exam Scores

Hi everyone,

I have finished grading the final exam. The average was significantly lower than previous exams (68, vs 78 on exams 1, 2 and 3). This will be accounted for in the calculation of final grades. If you have any questions or concerns about your grade, please let me know.

I hope you have a great summer, and thanks for a great semester!

Best,
Lucas
