Final exam, partial credit on coding

A number of students have asked about getting partial credit for the coding questions on the final exam.  There are two parts to the answer:
1) We gave credit based on the number of test cases passed, and a lot of people got partial credit based on this.
2) For those students whose letter grade was near a boundary (e.g., between A and B), we looked at their code and made an estimate of how close it was to working. We did not change the grade on the final exam, but we took into account when assigning a letter grade.

By the way, letter grades should  be availabe on websys tomorrow or the next day.
